Outlook 2003 slow opening atachments
Win XP Pro, Office 2003. When opening Word or Excel attachments in emails
through Outlook 2003, takes 20-30 seconds. Opening same docs from outside Office takes 2-5 seconds. It's not our anti-virus or spyware programs. Has to be something about Outlook. Have latest Outlook updates. PST file is 1.5 GB. But this is under the 2.0GB limit. Thanks all! -- ------------------ -jc |

Outlook 2003 slow opening atachments
Thanks Kathleen - that was a help, as I was not able to locate that temp file
before. Had my client (I'm a PC consultant) delete the contents of that temp folder. Opening Excel or Word attachments did not get faster - but now we have a new Excel error. Through Outlook or directly in Excel we get a gray spreadsheet background and "Cannot access read only document "my documents" [OK] OOn clicking [OK] get "Cannot access my documents". His default Excel doc file path is a network drive (we checkked that it was correct), so Excell shouldn't be looking in his "my documents". Word does not give this error, only Excel. Restarting Win XP Pro didn't help. Also another problem: When opening attached Word docs only, Outlook seems to think they have VB code or such - get "Runtime error: Invalid proceedure call." After OK'ing that message, the Word attachment opens fine - after the usual long delay. Appreciate your help! ------------------ -jc "K.
