Hi, unfortunately, I have to answer this with some questions: Can you verify (with the sender) that the attachment was really sent, the file size, and what type of file it was? (Especially what was the file "extension") Do you receive your email directly from an ISP or is there a mail or proxy server in between? Also, are you running any antivirus software that does email "scanning"? You may have received a virus as an attachment and your system prevented you from opening it, OR you might have something wrong with Outlook, OR you may need to change a configuration to make this work. Let us know so we can help...
