Forgive me for posting this again. I just really need
some help with this. I noticed when the message gets
farther down the list, it doesn't get answered.

Using Outlook XP - I WROTE:
Let's say I send someone an e-mail attachment or someone
sends me one - Either way. (For example: an Excel
spreadsheet or a Word document) I open it and make some
changes to the file. When I close it, the application
will prompt me to save it and then Outlook will prompt me
to save it. I save it on both prompts. When I open the
attachment in my e-mail, the changes have been saved. If
I forward the message to someone, the recipient receives
the attachment without the changes. How can the
attachment be saved (without downloading it to the hard
drive) and be able to forward it with the saved changes.


SOMEONE ELSE WROTE:
You can't. In order to even view it, the attachment must
be saved to the hard drive. The usual place is in a
subfolder of your hidden Temporary Internet Files cache.
When you edit it and save it without using Save As(which
is what you should be using), the saved file is again
stored in the at hidden cache, a place you don't normally
access.

I WROTE:
If you double-click the attachment, the file will open
and you will be able to view it. Then I can make
changes, save it and the changes will be saved. The
problem is: If I forward the message to someone, the
recipient receives the attachment without the changes.

Thank you for your time, Karen

It was answered, and before you posted this. No need to ask more than once.

For your information, it wasn't answered. The person who
posted a reply, didn't post the reply I needed. Thanks
for your help!

It may not have been the answer you wanted, but it _was_ answered.

I have a firm grip. Perhaps you're losing yours. I gave you the
explanation and you refuse to believe it. My tendency is always to believe
the truth.
