I SENDING AN E-MAIL WITH A LARGE EXCEL ATTACHMENT
W/MACROS USING OUTLOOK 2000 TO ONE USING OUTLOOK
EXPRESS. WHEN HE GETS THE E-MAIL IT DOWNLOADS OK, BUT IT
IS GRAYED OUT AND WILL NOT OPEN. ANY IDEAS? - FIREWALL,
MACROS?

THANKS
 
tell him to hit forward, then save the attachment :)

It's a new security feature to prevent accidental opening of viruses, either
by yourself or scripting. you can disable it in tools | options | security,
but I think the extra effort to hit forward is safer and well worth the
extra click.
