Hi People,
I'm in need of help, I'm running Outlook 2002, and this has only recently been installed,as I needed to 'upgrade' for sync reasons with my IPAQ, so I don't know my way around it brilliantly. The problem is, I have an email in my inbox, which has an attachment (.exe). I desperatley NEED this attachment for a job on Monday, but outlook is displaying a message above the inbox window stating "Outlook blocked access to the potentially unsafe attachment" I know this attachment is safe as the said is from a colleugue. How can I overide Outlook to allow me to save the file attached????? I have looked through options, but can not work it out.

Cheers,

Chris.

You can drag the message to your desktop (or other folder) from the inbox and that'll let you open it.

HankScorpio,

huummmm. I've just tried this, but cant get it to work. I can drag it to the desktop, which gives me an file on the desktop, but upon opening it, I have the same problem.

Mmmh, I do that in the office on 2002, but just tried here and can't get it on 2003, maybe they fixed it....?
Just had a look and there's a couple of tips here:
