Hi all,

I have a template for a purchase order request email, saved as a .oft file.

However, when i double click it, instead of opening as an email, it opens a
new mail with the template as an attachment? But it's a vicious circle, when
i double click the attachment, it opens another email with an
attachment.....and so on.

Is this just a case of changing the settings?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kirstie
 
What is your version of Outlook and Windows?
Do you have Word or Outlook set as the email editor?
 
Go to Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types-> select OFT-> button
Advanced
Select Open and then press Set Default so it will show bold. Then press
Edit...
In the "Application used to perform action:" verify that is says;
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /t "%1"

Also verify that Use DDE is enabled and the Application is set to OUTLOOK
and Topic is set to System
