There are just two of us networked. Yes, the file is shared, and we both
have full control.

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?

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.

As a lark, can you exit outlook, go to Start - Run and run outlook /safe
and try composing a new message and attaching the file that way?

I mean, I'm assuming the cancel button still works when you do the above
steps, and that the Insert button actually does depress to show you're
pushing it.

Can anyone else in your office attach files this way from a network?
Also, do you have full control to that share, or just read-only access?
