my outlook attachment is unable to open
in the particular documentfile or pdf file is not enabled

Leo - you commented that in Outlook you cannot directly see attachments (e.g. .jpg pictures) - you have to open them. Yet in Outlook Express you can. Is there any way possible to configure Outlook in the same way Outlook Express is configured, so you can view attached pictures without specifically opening them? If not, why Outlook Express alows that and Outlook does not?

Nope, they're different, unrelated programs and they just do things differently.

I can not open Book1.xls Excel file in Outlook
my be vendor send me too many attach files using one common file name , how to insert or open this attach "Book1" Excel File "
The other attache file wiht differenct name can be opened or inserted to my outlook mails.

I'd need more details to help. Like *how* does it fail? Error messages?

I am using Outlook 2003. I can't even open jpeg attachment. Do I need to install any kinda softwares?

Please HELP!
only from a specific sender I con't see the attachments!
Why only from him?

I've read the article (what appears to be the article anyway) and have conducted numerous searches. Yes the same question has been posted prior to mine and there does not appear to be a definitive answer - anywhere.

"I am using Outlook 2003. I can't even open jpeg attachment. Do I need to install any kinda softwares"

???

Error message: The system cannot find the specified file.

Is this a system or Outlook program problem and how do I correct it?

You should not have to install additional software. What happens when you try to open the attachment? And what are the steps you go through to try to open it?

Hi, good afternoon, in my outlook apperar a message error:
"Can´t open file C:\Documents and setting\USER\local setting\Temporary Internet Files\OLK1.. The file may no exist, you may not have permission to open it, or it may be open in another program. Right click the folder that contains the file, and the click properties to check your permissionsfor the folder.
