Kind regards Darren If these attachments are from Office 2007, make sure you save them as Office97-2003 compatible SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM Do not reply with email > Hi, When i send an attachment to people they can't open them.

Kind regards Darren Which programs create the attachments that there are problems with? What are the parts of the file names of these attachments starting with the last period? Also, note that attachments sent using Outlook are seldom readable unless you also have Outlook installed on your machine. they're sent using microsort word and spreadsheet and the files are .xlr Signaturerather be playing golf > Hi, When i send an attachment to people they can't open them.

Kind regards Darren Then they're likely to have to install the same programs that produced the attachments on their machines to be able to open them, assuming they can't find a cheaper reader-only program that will let you read them but not change them or to produce new attachments of these types. > they're sent using microsort word and spreadsheet and the files are .xlr > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> problem, >> any ideas. Kind regards Darren You've identified the originating program but not the sender's email program. Attachments send via Outlook are often not readable by non-Outlook mail clients.
