Outlook '03 with Excel XP Problem

[Guest]

I have an XP Pro SP1 user running Outlook Office 2003 SP1 and Office XP SP3 .
She cannot open attached Excel XP files within the Outlook client. Excel XP
opens and the user receives an error dialog: "The system cannot find the file
specified." Other office related documents (Word, etc) open just fine. Any
ideas would be appreciated. BTW: our email backend system is Exchange
Server 2003 SP1.

Try emptying the Outlook Secure Temp Folder

Utlimately, the fix for this problem (in our environment) was to remove the
affected users' roaming profile from both their Windows XP workstation and
theit host server (where their roaming profile lives).
