UGZ:  Easy sparky. Maybe it isn't his choice that he cannot release the EXE.
UGZ:  It's entirely possible, in fact, quite likely, that some "higher up"
UGZ:  who knows dick about IT and viruses got scared and said "This cannot
UGZ:  be shared with anyone! If it doesm you'll lose your job". Just because
UGZ:  they are worried about their image or that the file might contain
UGZ:  sensitive data.
UGZ:
UGZ:  I have run into this situation MANY times. There is usually little you
UGZ:  can do about it as an IT staff member or a consultant. So the next
UGZ:  best thing - ask a group of people that might have a clue what's going
UGZ:  on, WITHOUT needing to see or analyze said file.
UGZ:
UGZ:  Sheesh, give the guy a break. The only pollution I've noticed lately
UGZ:  is rude comments.

Aye, Über is correct.

When I first posted, I didnt have the EXE.  When I did receive a copy of
the file, I was told I cannot sent it outside of the network.

Besides, Ive been on this list long enough to know that questions like
mine are asked from time to time.
