Sorry to be one of the "illiterate", but I've never used this. Always
good to know more, though, so I am trying to understand it.

I'm a bit unclear about 'access'. Are you saying that the file is not
sent over the net as a file, but opened as though it were a regular
local net file?

DH no
DH one can bring in a virus this way.

If the document is a Word document, for example, could it not contain
a virus, and thus 'bring it in' when the doc is opened?

DH And can only come from within the
DH company's network.

Could I reference a readable file on any computer, anywhere? Why only
within the company?

Thanks,

Yep - more of that wrong-way trend.

DH I gather that in not too long a time someone wants to have Flash
DH e-mail. Or whatever multimedia "standard" will come ;-).

Maybe mpeg movies. Then we'll have a 23,000,000 byte email file whose
real content is "I agree". But - you'll be able to see his smiling
face say "I agree" :-).

 (Shivers at the thought this might actually happen...)
