Thanks for replying Brian
I think if this was the case then all word and excel attachments would
not open.
Again, this only happens with some of the word, excel attachments, not
all of them.
The user is the IT supervisor here, and i am sure he has all virus
definition updates and office updates necessary. Running office 2003

The above error message is occuring on a users computer when he
attempts to open a word or excel attachment directly from an outlook
email message.
This is occuring on only some Word and Excel attachments, not all.
Other Word and Excel document attachments open directly from the
Outlook emal message without any problem.

Try emptying the Outlook Secure Temp Folder.
