'insert file' missing file types (not all showed)

[Robert]

Hi there,

I'm facing with a puzzling Outlook 2003 problem so I'm trying the forum to
see if anyone encountered similar behaviour and/or found a solution.
On 'a couple' of workstations in the company there is a problem when users
try to attach files in their e-mails. Not all file types are displayed in
the 'insert file' dialog box (yes, *.* selected).
For instance .zip files are not displayed. There is no problem receiving
this kind of attachment! There is only a problem when trying to select these
files as attachment using the 'insert file' dialog.
We use XP SP1 and Office 2003.
Any suggestions?

Regards,
Robert.

it should be "All Files" and not "*.*" - that doesn't display.
If not installed see if installing SP1 for Office 2003 helps.

*.* does display when you have your Folder Options set to display
extensions.

*.* is indeed displayed...but that is not the core of the problem!
I forgot to mention that we are running outlook 2003 and applied office 2003
SP1.
