Problem opening up .csv files when they are attachments in
Outlook. Get the following error when opening --> "Cannot
create file: ***.csv. Right click the folder you want to
save it in and check the permissions for the folder".
Also receive this error when trying to save file to hard
drive from email. Can open .xls files fine from Outlook.
Can open .csv files fine when they reside on hard drive.
Any ideas??

Thanks
 
I'm not sure if this is an excel error.

Just from reading your error message (I've never seen it in real life), it
sounds more like Outlook is having trouble creating the file. If that's true,
you may want to post to an Outlook newsgroup.

But one thing to try before you post a message:

Reregister excel so that it can take over the extensions that it should own.

Close excel (and outlook--just in case):
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.
