MaryJ,

No popup blockers, ad blockers, or programs to protect the registry on any of the 3 affected PCs. As I stated, the OS is 2-Win98SE & 1-WinXP SP1. There shouldn’t be any registry permissions issues (certainly not on the two Win98SE PCs anway).

I have always stayed with SR-1a on Office 2000 specifically because of what Woody has said in his Office Watch newsletters (specifically about SP-2). I decided to go ahead with SP-3 since Woody stated that it was finally a good update and recommended it. Because I had no issues with SR-1a in the passed, is why I stated what I did about either uninstalling Office 2000 SP-3 to re-install Office 2000 and SR-1a ONLY – or to upgrade to Office XP SP-2…or 2003.

And, yes…something DID change in the SP. SP-2 and above added the Outlook E-mail Security Update into the SP (SR-1/1a did not include this update).

DaveA, it looks like I would not be able to use “DetachXP” as it is for Office XP/2002 (not 2000). Looks like it does the same (a little more, actually) as Ken Slovak’s Outlook Attachment Options, which I’m using.

Any other ideas?

Hi John,

Thanks for the additional ideas…but no, that’s not it either. Anyone else have any ideas (other than either going back to SR-1a or upgrading them to Office 2003 )?

Hans,

Yes, in fact the Level 1 side is empty. I have corresponded with Ken via e-mail, but he didn’t have any ideas either. I have never had an issue with Outlook or Attachment Options, until now. I was hoping that I might get some more ideas from others on this message board.

Thanks,

Wes

I have 3 PCs (1 on WinXP SP1; 2 on Win98SE) that are running Outlook 2000 SP3 and Ken Slovak’s Attachmate Options 1.86. So far, other attachments receive fine…but, for some reason, .EXE attachments are blocked. Any ideas?
