Norton is on my kill list for using with any mail client. You can try disabling it to see if it works then.

After furious head scratching, Jan Groshan asked:

| I just had a second thought .... I have Norton Internet Security
| running on the "server" computer. Could that be stopping the ability
| to attach a file ?

|| I clicked the "paper clip" (attach file), navigated to the network
|| drive that contained a .pdf file I wished to attach to an email,
|| highlighted the file, but it would not attach to the email nor would
|| it appear in the "File Name" box at the bottom of the screen next to
|| the "insert" button. Step by step, I:
||
|| Clicked on New Email
|| Entered the recipient's name
|| Entered the Subject of the email
|| Typed a short note in the message body ("Here's the file we talked
|| about.")
|| Clicked on the "Attach File" button (the paperclip)
|| Went to "My Network Places"
|| Worked my way to the folder that contained the .pdf file I wanted to
|| attach
|| Highlighted the file (and tried double-clicking it)
|| Nothing happened .... it did not attach to the email.

|||| I just tried to send an email with an attachment that is "housed"
|||| on a computer that I'm networked to, but I wasn't able to attach
|||| it. I could attach a file if it were on the same computer that the
|||| Outlook 2007 was on, but not one that had to be accessed through
|||| My Network Places. I assume I have some setting somewhere that's
|||| keeping me from being able to attach the file. Anybody have a clue?
|||
|||
||| Could you clarify what 'I wasn't able to attach it' means? What
||| did you do to try to attach it?
