Hi Elaine I'm no Boffin but i had same trouble. Get Outlook on screen, at top of page click TOOLS then OPTIONS then SECURITY. Untick DO NOT ALLOW ATTACHMENTS. It should then be OK. This is the limit of my knowledge!!! |

Happens to me all the time, however if you untick the 'do not allow attachments etc'remember to retick it after you have retrieved your document, it is a security measure to help avoid virus's. After you have ticked or unticked remember to hit 'apply' then OK. Regards Christina |
