Opening msg files - irritating message

J

Jacques

I have just installed Office 2003. When I open an existing msg file
(created in Outlook) I get a message saying:

"A program still has file attachment [filename].msg open. Changes to
this document will be lost unless you save your changes to another file
....".

There is no other program that has the file open. I know this for a
fact, because I could not open these msg files at all until I upgraded
to Office 2003!

The msg files seem to open fine, but the error message gets a bit
irritating after you've seen it and clicked on "OK" 50 times. What
causes it, and is it possible to stop it?

TIA

I'd click&drag the .msg files back into the mailfolder of outlook and open
them as mail or whatever item it was from there...
