That he has uploaded to your shared server space? on a Microsoft server? and that Microsoft expects you to now pay for that space? when there are plenty of free servers on the net? Or does this mean you are using a demo version of a Microsoft program that is now extorting payment? I think this is the meaning. If so, the file is somewhere on your computers drive. Spotlight search for it. The name is probably displayed in the message he sent you where it is an attachment. right? Find the file and and control -key click on it to get the popup menu and choose which program to open it with. ___cartoon life blog___<http://dougsamu.wordpress.com/> ___website ___<http://web.mac.com/dougrogers08> --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage list subscription options at <//www.freelists.org/list/muglo>
