I would like to send an email to someone, add an attachment to it (excel) and
make some changes on the attachment before I sent it to them. When I try to
do this I get messages saying the changes have to be saved to the
harddrive--is there anyway around this? I just updated to Office07 and used
to do it before the change. Also the file I send them needs to be something
that isn't read only as what I'm sending them is a budget template that I add
specific info like their salary to and then they build the rest of their
budget.

Speaking as someone who is a recently-retired Management and Systems
Accountant for one or two large Public Companies in the UK, why would you do
it this way in the first place? In Excel do a "Save As", and modify that
file. Then send it. Much better for the Audit trail.....
