My wife and I both use Office 2003 as well as Outlook 2003. My OS is XP/SP2 and hers is a new Vista Machine. Some time ago I was unable to open attachments in Outlook and someone
on one of these forums (I can't remember who) explained how to do so. So, I can now open attachments. The problem is that my wife can't open attachments.

I know that outlook blocks certain attachment as a safety procedure but, I can open the same attachments on my computer that she can't.

Does someone know how to "fix" this.

TIA

Hi,
Sorry to hear of the problems your wife is experiencing with opening attachments through Outlook,.
This is usually as a result of default settings introduced because of security fears.
