In OE try the following. Go to tools/options, go to security tab and check the box that says "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" and tell us if this solves your problem Negoslav ----- Original Message ----- From: Mandy <mailto:mandy.MJC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk <mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, April 12, 2009 6:11 PM Subject: [access-uk] Attachments. How do I reverse the process when opening an attachment? Now they automatically open because I unticked the box saying always ask: my friend originally had this problem and is using Microsoft Outlook whereas I use Outlook Express.
