Default Problems emailing a mdb file

I have a simple macro that attaches a mdb file to an MS Outlook email
message and sends it off. The problem is that MS Outlook (v2003) does not
like mdb files as attachments and I always get a MS Outlook message saying
that the attachment is potentially unsafe and do I want to sent is anyway !
Hence, my macro will never completely run.

Is there anyway I can get MS Outlook to trust mdb files from my source, that
is ME ? Alternatively, is it possible to incorporate an automatic answer
(which would be YES) in the macro so that it will completely run and not
stop at the error message all the time ?

thanks for your help ... Roger
