Solve : Outlook "Can't create file" error when trying to open attachments?

Answer» USING Outlook 2003.

When trying to open attachments we get the following error message

"Can't create file: <filename>. Right CLICK the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"

This doesn't happen all the time, just with some attachments. We had a fix, by deleting Temporary Files that it created, now that's not working either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!  What is the file extension on these attatchments ? ?

You get a real kick out of it when that happens...don't you ? ?
 Try saving the file somewhere first (like in My Documents) then opening it.

I've seen this happen with Outlook when users try to open Office files mostly. Not sure what causes it. Quote
