Hi Jack, If you are running Outlook 2000 w/SP1 or Outlook XP (Outlook 2002), the application will prevent any attachment that represents a file that can = be executed from passing through.
You can not defeat this 'security' feature from Outlook. However, you = can modify Outlook's 'Level 3' registry entries that define which of these files can not be passed through. If you are confident in modifying your registry, go to Microsoft's Knowledge Base and down load Knowledge Base Article 318515 or 284414 (Outlook 2000 and 2002 (XP) respectfully). An easier method is to buy ZoneAlarm PRO firewall (not the free version) which has email attachment security. This application renames the attachment before Outlook 2000 SP1 or XP prevents them from passing. = You look up in ZoneAlarm Pro's log to determine what the file type was = before ZoneAlarm changed it, and then rename the attachment file back to is original file name. Hey, Doesn't everyone need a firewall? Ron ........
