537979 2007-04-03 08:28:00 Evening all.
Received a couple of emails with excel sheets attached, the trouble is I didn't have excel installed. I have since installed excel but when I try and open the attachments Outlook says that it has remove access to the unsafe attachments. How do I reastablish this acess??


Thanks Dave

537981 2007-04-03 10:13:00 Yes thats the message, not sure about playing with the registry..... 4Lowie (10869)
537982 2007-04-03 10:20:00 Whoever sent it, will have to zip it then.

Or tell the person to rename it before they send it, and u can rename it back to an excel file format.

537983 2007-04-03 11:09:00 I seem to recall playing around with this problem in an earlier version of Outlook than I am using a the moment (2003). I found that if I opened the original message containing the blocked attachments, clicked the <Forward> button and the attachments became available in the new message. I could then save the attachments to the hard drive. M$ may have closed that loophole by now - but might be worth a try... johcar (6283)
