Excel Attachment Opening Problem in Outlook 2000

[jmcarthur]

I have several users who have lost the ability to open
Excel attachments from Outlook. When the users click on
the Excel attachment, the Excel shell opens and the error
message state that 'access to the specified device, path
or file denied.'. Additionally, if the users attempt to
save the file to his/her hard drive, he/she gets the error
message that 'the system cannot find the file specified.'.
Users are able to open all other types of Office 2000
files, i.e., Word, Powerpoint, and Access files. If
anyone can help me with this issue or clue me in on how to
find resolutions to this issue, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Try emptying the temporary folders (Temporary Internet Files and
