I can't open the excel attachment file with a certain file name in Outlook Express. I have to use the "save as" function to extract the file onto my computer and then I can open it. All other excel attachment files are OK.

It's in Chinese.
But like I said, all other Excel files with other file names are ok, even with Chinese file name. Only this specific file name can not be opened directly within Outlook Express.
Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to mention; Only one computer has this problem.
Right Now, I add "-" after the original file name and it seems the problem is solved for now.
Still, I still would like to know why this happen.
Hi, everyone ^_^

What happens when you attempt to open the file? How many characters are in the filename?
Summary: Hi, When I receive an attachment in outlook 2003, I can see the attachment but when I try and open the attachment ie. a word doc - it's blank - nothing in there at all.... If I then restart my mac...
