Re: Cannot attach a file to an Outlook 2007 template after installing Office 2007 SP2

I can duplicate this, but it's not as bad as you think. The attachment *is*

actually there. It's just the display of the composed message that's messed

up. It also appears to be a problem only if Outlook is not already running.

Thanks for the reply.

I have found that if I use the “Restore Down” or “Restore up” button

the attached file shows up in the email. Here is another problem; if I

then double click on the attached file (pdf), the pdf file will not

open until I close the outlook email template, then the pdf file

opens.

I have uninstalled office 2007 sp2 from 3 computers trying to get the

template to work again the right way. On one of the computers the

template started work again when it was back to office sp1, on the

other two computers it did not start working again when back at office

sp1.

I need to get this fixed, because I use this type of outlook template

from inside of a lot of other programs to send emails.

Do you know what might fix this problem with the template when office

2007 sp2 is installed?

Would you also know where I can send an email to, to tell Microsoft

about this to see if they will look into it and fix it?

Thanks Again.
 
Re: Cannot attach a file to an Outlook 2007 template after installing Office 2007 SP2

Microsoft knows about the problem already. Their timetable for fixing it

will depend on the difficulty of that fix and what other issues are higher

in the priority list. Given that there is a relatively easy workaround

starting Outlook before running the template -- I suspect that it's pretty

low on the list.
