And now that we know they cannot *save* an attachment in Outlook Express and it is really not a Windcows XP problem (din't think XP had that feature - thought it first appeared in Vista) - it's pretty simple to fix. The Google search... http://www.google.com/search?q=Unblock+an+attachment+type+in+%22Outlook+Express%22 Would lead to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/oeandsp2.mspx Which is similar to what the OP quoted later in this conversation when they finally pointed out it was Outlook Express blocking the file (actually attachment to an email)... Tells them how to unblock access to said attacment (or at least work-around it.)

Really seems weird then - as I don't recall Windows XP natively blocking files. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
