The simplest solution would be to simply zip or even just rename the file to .zip. (And have the recipient unzip or rename the file back after the download -- you said they were an IT department; so this shouldn't be beyond their skill :)
I realize its a 'work around', but enabling mdb download really isn't generally advisable anyway; lots of websites or website components hosted by IIS use access databases for storage and you wouldn't generally want someone being able to download a sites 'backend database' simply by guessing its name, which is likely why mdb is forbidden in the first place. (Along with several other extensions like .cs, .config, .ascx, and so on to prevent someone from downloading the source code and configuration information for an asp.net website.) In fact if I recall right, even .asp and .aspx are forbidden by default; so that in the event that scripting is disabled for a site the server still won't serve up the raw .asp or .aspx files. (A problem back when asp was new)
You can also set app level forbidden file types in the httpHandlers of the web.config file; but I doubt you explicitly did this. I expect the blockage is in the global equivalent for all of IIS somewhere; although I can't help you with that.

Hello,
I have a website that is hosted by another company. Is there some kind
of php script to limit downloading to a certain amount size? And is
there kind thing I can do to the .htaccess file to limit this as
well???
For example I have a little media file say about 3MB or something.
Once someone visits the site and wants to download this file (ie.
http://www.domain.com/dir/file.wmv), I would like something check

I am creating a series of downloadable articles, career

for "registered" guest. The registrants are stored in a

I want to ensure that someone registered cannot simply
pass someone the path to the files for download. However,
I am not creating an actual system user name for the
folders where the various documents exist.

Hi. I can't place an mdb database above the http root, so anyone is
able to download it through their browser if they know where it is.
This database contains some sensitive information. I am used to Apache
server and open source languages, I think web.conf is sort of
equivalent to Apache's .htaccess, is there some way I can edit
web.conf to disallow access to mdb files?
I'm sorry if this is not the exact group I should be posting in,...

Introduction
Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.
