Did you also close Word? Since it's got a Word attachment, that could be the problem. Also, hit ctrl+alt+del and check your running processes (not applications...PROCESSES). Make sure Outlook and Word (or winword) are not still appearing in there...if they are, select them and End Task on them. If all else fails, try a reboot...that should fix it. Linda F.

I cannot send it, open it, move it or delete it. Trying to open it gives the error message that "Outlook has already begun transmitting this message". I have tried closing Outlook and restarting but to no avail. The message is a text format message with a Word document attachment and was created from Word 2003 using the File, Send to ..., Mail Recipient As Attachment. Can anyone tell me what I should do to remove the message and start again.
