I do not have &quot;Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that...&quot; check box under TOOLS/OPTIONS/SECURITY. I'm running Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.4527). Is it too old or too new?<br />

There was a message sent to me that contains blabla.mdb file attachment and my Outlook says &quot;Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: blabla.mdb&quot; and does not allow me to view or save the file. Many thanks to Microsoft, but I want to make such decisions on my own. How can I view this file?<br />

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
