You have ruined Outlook by being overly security conscious and preventing MDB
files from being emailed.

You have reuined Outlook by not allowing short cuts to be inserted into the
text body of Tasks.

It is pretty clear that your staff does not use Outlook. I wonder what
contact management program they use. I would like to switch.

I love sassy posts! Good on ya, mate.

But still, they are damned if they do, and damned if they don't right? In
this case, these are just defaults that savvy users can override.

I suspect many of the Microsoft folks are using Outlook 2007 by now. They
may have one VP *cough*ozzie*cough* using Lotus Notes....

William,

I understand what you are saying.

That is their position.

However, they could leave a configuration option fo the end user. There is
no excuse for making that security decision for me.

At least that is the way I think.

besides the fact that you can send the blocked file types, you can also
unblock them.

the changes for you, so no need to edit the registry yourself.

Diane,

Thank you for the suggestion.

I was able to solve the problem by following the link.

The other issue I have is inserting File Links and Folder Links in the text
body of Tasks. I used that extensively with earlier verisons of Outlook to
save time in locating files needed for projects.

Our "big brothers" at MS Outlook have "protected" me from myself once again
by disabling that function.

Do you have suggestions about how to patch or work around this design by MS
Outlook team.

Sincerely,

Jim

I don't think there is a fix fir the link issue, except to insert them as
urls, not objects. Outlook 2007 makes it easy to insert URLs - in 2003,
Insert, File, then choose insert as hyperlink from the Insert button
dropdown.
