save as Prompt appears....

[jolle]

Hey there,

iam using exchange 2007, windows xp and office 2007.

when i open an attachment in outlook, the file will be opened in (for
example) ms word.
After editing the file...

..... on pc1: the changes will be saved in the attachment / in the email
..... on pc2: the "save as" Prompt appears, and i have to decide where to
save the changed document

can anyone tell me why ? Or how to set it to always save the changes in the
email ?

thanks in advance

Same document type on both?
Opening it the same way? ie, open the message then the attachment or do you
open it from the reading pane on one?

A double click in the reading pane always opens a read-only document. You
need to open the email message then double click to save changes back to the
message.

A double click in the reading pane always opens a read-only document. You
