Hi,
When I attach an .exe file to an E-mail sent to a friend, he reports that he cannot open it in Outlook Express. Is there something he has enabled which could have this result? Andy I. |

You could try ZIPping it first. He could try going to Tools | Options | Security and unchecking "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus". -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup.

I find it difficult to conduct an "interrogation" with my friend "at a distance". I guess you have to know the right questions to ask. I don't know how you MVP's do it, or have the patience.... You deserve a medal. The final outcome of this one is that he now tells me he can now open ( I mean execute....) the .exe file. How, he doesn't know... All's well that ends well. Thanks. Andy I. |
