I am having the following issue with saving attachments:

when i try to save an attachment by dragging from an email message to a
folder/desktop - nothing happens, no error message, no beep, no indicator
whatsoever, it just doesnt work. It worked at one time

when i try to save an attachment by copy and paste (either right click copy
right click paste, or ctrl+c and Ctrl+V) same problem as above

when i try to save an attachment by right click holding, dragging and using
"copy here" same as above.

all of these use to work... and now they dont.. i'm stumped... any
suggestions would be appreciated

the only way that works is to use save as, and browse to the desktop or a
folder


I am running:

outlook 2007
winxp pro sp2

thanks

What type of attachments are these?
If you do a right-click drag and drop can you see the "Copy here" option?

any documents: word, excel, in design, .psd, .pub, .jpg, and more. it
seems to be a universal problem

So, right-click drag and drop and choose "copy here" is working?

I'm totally beat on this. It seems to be more of a system issue than an
Outlook one or the way Outlook interacts with the system.
You can try repairing the Outlook installation and see if maybe some
associations are fixed.

I also am running:
outlook 2007
winxp pro sp3

I’m having the same problem as bdr777.
I just configured Outlook today 6/3/08 on my laptop. So it did not stop
working it just never has…

I have tried all of the things bdr777 has tried, del my account and set it
up again, plus I have closed my Firewall, virus, and other background
programs and still no drag and drop or cut and paste (File types: zip, bmp,
xls…) I can open the files and then do a save as… errrr.

When you do a drag you get a plus on the cursor at the drop location but
there is not drop or error. Nothing happens… When you ctrl-c and then close
the e-mail you can get the message about a large amount of data in the
clipboard…

Help SMILE!

Tom

PS
I have the same setup on my desktop and things work great there, it’s not an
operator issue…

A client of ours is having the same issue as well— Windows XP SP3,
Outlook 2007, all updates up to date. Cannot drag and drop attachments
from the email message to the desktop. If trying to copy&paste,
Windows beeps twice when pasting the file to the desktop. Can't figure
it out, 22 other users in the office on identical systems have no
issue.

My only work around has been to open the file in the email and then do a
‘Save As’...

One other thing, my install is very clean. Almost from a new install plus
updates.
