Default Can't drag and drop an Excel file from Windows Explorer to new mail message

Hi,

Is there some setting preventing me from using drag and drop from Windows
Vista Explorer to quickly attach files I want to send with emails?

When I try to drag frrom the Explorer window onto the open email I get the
circle with a diagonal line through it showing it is not allowed.

Thanks in advance,

Nigel

You should be able to do that. Try clearing the Outlook Secuire Temp
Folder.

Ni Brian,

This folder was already empty.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Nigel

PMFJI, but, just to ask the obvious question, you are dragging it over the
message body portion of the window, right? You can only drop it there, not
the header..

Hi FH,

I think it may actually be a problem with Internet Explorer Security. I got
a dialogue box after clearing the IE7 tempory files cache and trying to drag
and drop again. I'll head over to the IE7 group.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Nigel
