Hi, I'm Julie and I'm one of the French-language OLW moderators. One of our users has a suggestion with regards to Access files, the majority of which he understands are not permitted for security reasons.

Here's his original request: http://fr.myofficelivecommunity.com/discuss/forums/p/4242/4490.aspx#4490

And here's a translation:

Could you please authorize the ".mdb" extension and therefore also permit the hosting of Access files prior to the 2007 version? Access is, these days, an indispensable work application and is used more and more in businesses and in education. And not everyone even has Office 2007 yet!

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Julie,

Thank you for passing on this request.

Unfortunately, at this time we can't give access to .MDB files to be uploaded in to the service because of security concerns. Although we would like to give the ability to host a wide variety of file types, an equally, if not more, important part of our service is to keep our users and their data safe.

Regards

Kutlay
