Cannot Attach Files Stored on Network Drive
I have a small office LAN where all computers have access to a shared drive running under a Windows 2003 File Server. One of these computers has Windows 7 recently installed, and Outlook 2003, and when the user attempts to attach a file located on the networked folder (a shared folder located on a drive on the Windows 2003 Server that he can access directly through Windows Explorer without difficulty), the shared folder cannot be seen under the Network. I suspect this is some Outlook setting that is incorrect, but don't know which it would be. All help is most appreciated.

Do mapped drives show up? That would be my recommendation, map the drive so the user can always see it in My Computer. Slight change of process but should do the trick.

None of the suggestions quite captured whatever was wrong (I checked each), but the advice was on point and *could* have been the source of the trouble, which, unfortunately, simple was not repeatable when I inspected the computer myself.
