Trying to open an Excel 97 attachment within Outlook 2000
Receiving "Error opening file" message

Excel file opening fine when saving the file.

Note: Option to "Ignore Other Applications" has been
cleared in Excel
 
have you tried deleting your temp file? To locate yours open regedit and
goto;
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Security]

Here there is a string-value called "OutlookSecureTempFolder" with a
location as a value. Copy this location and paste it in the addressbar of
Explorer (since you can't browse to it).

There might be some old temp-files interfering with your Excel sheet

Good Luck!
