Unable to Open Attachments in Outlook 2000 sp1a

[Mike]

At work, we have a networked PC, W2K, Office Pro 2000 sp1a
Unable to open attachments in Outlook 2000. I remember runnimg across this
problem about two years ago, but don't remember how I fixed it.
Any suggestions where to start?

Thanks,

Tom

Do you mean you can't open certain attachment types? If so, see

To be honest, the best long-term solution is to ask people to zip files
before sending - a lot of security-conscious admins are starting to block
potentially dangerous file types at the server or firewall.
