I just set up a PC for a client so that he could view PowerPoint
presentations using the PowerPoint viewer.
If he saves an attachment from an email he can then just double-click on the
file and it starts in the viewer. However, from within mail he gets a
message asking if he wants to open the PowerPoint file (Windows has detected
the association), then is told that there is no association.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Looks real good, but I won't know until the weekend at the earliest.
