I can't open most of my attachments all of a sudden. QuickTime attachments
open but none of the others do. The attachment is gray and it won't open
when you click it. The only change to my computer recently has been some
windows xp updates. Any ideas? John
 
The updates increased the security settings, you can set them back to
allow opening such files, but remember, there are a lot of those files going
around now that are viruses, including some appear to be from sources you
might consider safe, like Microsoft. Be careful.

This is the MS Access (the database program) newsgroup. Try
annexcafe.general.user2user newsgroup.
 
Better posted to an Outlook Express group.

With those new windows updates came a new security update which disables for
security (viruses, etc...) reasons the users ability to open attachments.
To correct this you can go to "Tools" Menu -> "Options" Menu -> "Security"
tab then uncheck "Do not allow attachments to" yadaa yadaa.
