Because the method that I provided *is* exactly what Outlook does when you open an attachment in the UI.

Sorry I don't follow

If I double click on the attachment it opens without saving it to disk
therefore why can't it just be opend with code

You can't open an attachment that way (and you'd know that if you looked in the object browser at the Attachment object; it has no Open method). You must save each attachment first to your hard drive and then open it, either with the appropriate automation for that type of file or with a Shell Execute type of command. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1140 for a code sample.

If you want to use VBA code to track when the user closes an open item, you will need to use an Inspector wrapper class to track the Close event of ***all*** open messages. Ken Slovak has a good sample. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vb.htm#wrapper
