Is there a fix in OE6 for opening pps files other than having to save to hard drive ? Thanks -- Fred Grosskurth 4890 White Spruce Ln. Frederick, MD 21703
Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future. If still no joy: Unable to open .PPS attachments directly from Outlook Express using XP/SP2 or XP/SP3: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ppsopen.htm -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Fred Grosskurth" wrote in message news:ekkDreKIJHA.1308@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Is there a fix in OE6 for opening pps files other than having to save to > hard drive ? > > Thanks > > -- > Fred Grosskurth > 4890 White Spruce Ln. > Frederick, MD 21703 >
Thanks Bruce: I'm just a little reluctant on using 3rd party fixes unless approved by Microsoft for their products. Guess I will continue to just save to HDD and open with PPT Viewer, just one extra step. Thanks for the quick reply.

You can trust it. Ramesh Srinivasan is a long time MVP.
