Hi,

I am using office2000/win2k and on opening directly one specific excel file
which name ends with a figure (for example 834.xls ) under outlook (double
click on the icon of the attached document) I get a renumbering of this
excel file (the excel workbook title shows 8341.xls)

A normal opening (save attached file then double-click on the resulting
file) does not generate any renumbering

?????????????

Thx in advance
 
outlook uses temporary files when opening attachments.. you can see the
folder by opening attachment, then doing a file save as,.. are you
receiving emails with the same file name? cause everytime you receive
the same file name, outlook creates a temporary file with a 1, 2, 3 etc
at the end.. to distinguish between different attachments.. if this is
the case you should get the sender to change the file name, cause i
know it causes problems when receiving too many of the same file name
as an attachment.
