Problem in the customers txt ....


"The other problems remain
Can't open email attachments unless I put them in forward and when I minimise  I can't get back in without closing outlook and starting again "
If all the suggestions above do not work (including a new Windows Profile) then you need to uninstall/reinstall Office.
