When I try to send directly from Excel as an attachment I get: "The operation failed due to network or other communication problems. Check your connections and try again." I can open Outlook and insert the attachment and it works fine. Someone mentioned it was a problem with Office XP, but could not find the specific problem in the knowledge base. I have Office XP, Windows XP professional, on an exchange server. Outlook XP works fine otherwise and Office XP also works with no problems, the two just won't play well together. Is anyone aware of this problem? If so is there a fix?
