When I try to open an attached Power Point file using the MS PPt
Viewer, it says no file association exists. However, the file opens fine if downloaded to a folder and the file association appears OK? Any ideas will be appreciated. |

Two possibilities:
There is a conflict with PPS and XP/SP2. See this link for a fix: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ppsopen.htm Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "glamart" wrote in message ...

It was the file by Ramesh Srinivasan that did the trick.
