This is pretty routine in MS Exchange Server land. Another way to get around this is the encrypt the ZIP file. Then there will be no need to rename the file beforehand.

So I'm thinking maybe AVG go overzealous. Maybe it was done by my ISP? Anyway I had the client resend using YouSendIt.com. That worked. Always does.

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!

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?
