Every now and again outlook won't let me insert a zip
file. When i go to insert i get open instead of insert.
this only happens for zip files. If i close outlook and
re-open it i can then insert a zip file. Any assistance
in resolving this would be greatly appreciated. I am
using Office XP Pro.
 
Sounds like you are running Windows XP. Only way around it is to install
something like WinZip, WinRar, .etc or de-register the the libraries (DLL
files) that treat zips like folder.
 
I have got winzip install V7. How would i go about de-
registering the libraries.

Thanks in advance
