[AccessD] mdb block even though it was in a zip file

Hi Rocky,

Your antivirus program is supposed to do that whenever a compressed file
might be a potential problem.  I'm going to guess that if an .mdb file has
an AutoExec macro or a startup form, an antivirus program will stop it - but
maybe it stops all .mdb files - don't know.

I always change the .mdb to .pdf, then compress and then send.  Pdf's always
get through.  And of course you do need to let your user know that they need
to change back to .mdb.

Good Luck!
Dan

Subject: [AccessD] mdb block even though it was in a zip file

Dear List:
 
Client tried to send their back end zipped but in the zip file was a text
file with the text: "The file "AppareoMRP.mdb" has been blocked by the
attachment filter recipient policy on the %ANTIVIRUSENGINE% system.  The
email has not been delivered."
 
I don't think that Outlook did that on my end.  Could it have happened on
their?  Any clue what this means?
 
TIA
 
Rocky
