Annabel,

I'll be watching with interest to see what suggestions you receive. I
tried a similar question a few months ago and got the suggestion to delete
and then rebuild my profile. I tried it and it didn't work. Thinking
back, I didn't cycle out and then back in top Outlook after deleting my
profile but before rebuilding the same profile. That might have made a
difference. You might try and let us know if it make a difference.

Just curious about something. When I try to drag 'n drop an attachment I
get an error message telling me that I 'out of resources'. If I
acknowledge the dialog and then use the 'paperclip' method to add the file
I get TWO attachments of the same file. I don't get two attachments if I
use just the paperclip method. Do you see the same thing?

Patrick,

I tried deleting the profile; more of that, I have 5 different profiles
- I deleted all of them, and rebuild again. That solution hasn't worked
for me either.
Speaking about the error message you are getting - no, I do not have
any problems with attaching files, only with saving them.
I did some research on solving the problem and here are some tips.
First, the reason why one cannot d'n'd an attachment could be that you
have some resident program that watches the processes running on you PC
and prevents outlook.exe from saving files via d'n'd. I found a
description of such bug he

I don't have any program of that kind installed though; maybe that will
help you.

What I do now when I get a message with, say, ten pictures is
following: I open a letter in a separate window and choose file - save
attachments. This is better than saving attachments one-by-one but
still is less handy than d'n'd-ing.

Yours,

Annabel
