wrote:

I am using MS Windows XP Pro SP2 and MS Office 2003. Some time ago I
have noticed that I cannot drag and drop to any Windows Explorer
folder files sent to me as attachments. Still, "Save as" works, but
it is very annoying to save files one-by-one when I get dozen
attachments in one message.


Are you trying to d-n-d one attachment or select multiple attachments and
d-n-d them all at once?

I have this same problem! Dragging attachements from Outlook worked
fine for a couple of years, then stopped shortly after I installed
Office2003 SP2. I still get the [+] on the pointer when I drag the
attachment files to a desktop location, as if it is planning to copy
them -- but they do not appear at the destination.

This is happening from the preview pane and from a message opened in
its own window. Multiple attachments or single.

Please let me know if you find a solution.

thanks

Brian,

Both. Neither single nor multiple attachments can be d-n-d'ed.

Yours,

Annabel

Alas, I cannot duplicate the problem. Perhaps someone else will have a
suggestion.
