Mandy, Outlook will block certain attachments that microsoft feel can harm your computer. I get around this by using with outlook 2000 a free download called outlook attachment options. Available from http://www.slovaktech.com/attachmentoptions.htm This installs another tab in the options dialogue window for attachments. Within this new tab you can define what attachments outlook blocks, or more usefully, does not block. I just hit the move all button and have all and any attachments allowed through. You then rely on your antivirus to catch anything nasty, of course, but that's fairly common sense anyway. hth, Mark Threadgold Of all the things I have ever lost, the thing I miss most is my mind.... -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mandy Palmer Sent: 02 October 2006 15:25 To: Access-Uk@Freelists. Org Subject: [access-uk] Attachments Hi Everyone, Since yesterday my incoming e-mails have been saying attachment when there aren't any, it's really irritating. I'm using Outlook 200 with Windows XP. Is there something I've turned on by mistake or something?
