| 149334 | 2003-06-05 00:54:00 | Robo, I guess you have applied Service Pack 2 for Office XP... but have you also seen the MS article OL2002: You Cannot Open Attachments (support.microsoft.com) which goes to some length on the attachment blocking but not necessarily a total fix. There are some hints as to what the issues may be .... Will get back more info when it arrives. Cheers, Babe. |

| 149335 | 2003-06-05 00:57:00 | Article 278144 on the microsoft knowledge base talks about situations where you want to treat text files like docs, etc. It appears you need to add exceptions before you upgrade from 2000, which is ridiculous if you are doing a new install. I cannot find anything to help me get out of this. It is far more than an annoyance if I have to repeat this farcicle routine in the interest of security I don't even want. I used to use Wordview in the old days which made macro viruses impotent, but I don't think that would even help now as the code is tied in to outlook. This whole area is a snakepit that you fall into when you do as you are told and add patches. I am not happy about this at all. I can't easily change to another email client as I use the calendar and contacts and they integrate to the pocket PC and Palm. I have to try to find a solution elsewhere. robo. |

| 149336 | 2003-06-05 01:15:00 | Believe it or not, I got this from someone at Microsoft tech support, and he was pretty helpful. We went through the whole level1 remove thing, yada, yada, yada, but then we found out something: Under SP2, it forces entries in level1remove to save. All I did was take out doc and xls from the list and I can open them again! Happy day, oh joy, delerium. So the registry hack from before to fix a problem created a new problem after the SP2, and reversing it slightly solves the problem. Thanks for efforts of you all, and big bouquet to Microsoft Services. robo. |
