When opening a file attachment (excel file) in Outlook 2002, I receive the following message. Can't create the file; xxx.xls. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder. However, I have been able to open this file previous to today. I have checked the security tab to be sure I have Full Control of the entire c: drive, plus I am an administrator on this machine.

Do you have full systems administritive rights where your companies Mail Client resides, or simply full administritive rights to the local PC?
Create a folder named test on a shared network drive, preferrably one with maximum user privellages. Openthe e-mail and try to save the attachment to this folder.
Do the same again on the Local PC.
Can you open the file from another PC?
Once you have tried this let me know what happens and i will try to be of more asistance.

I have full Admin rights to the local machine. The Mail Client is supplied by Rechannel out of Miami. I have tried creating several new folders with full permissions, but no luck there as well. I forwarded the message to another Outlook user in the office, and was able to open the file just fine from that machine.
