I believe it just might be a mismatch issue. We have been running the Office 2K/ Outlook 2003 mix for a while. But this is the first time that this user has tried it from a workstation with the 2k/2003 mix. His old system was all Office 2K, and the function worked there. What I have found online suggests that I need to get all the software to the same version. In my attempts to get this working the “Send as an attachment” function now seems to work, and that was good enough for him.
Thanks for all the help

The mismatch of office/outlook versions may be the problem. You did not say when the issue started, whether it was before or after the upgrade to outlook 2003. Is word set to the program mail default?

Is there a proper mail (Outlook) profile on the machine? What about firewall issues?
