I have a user who was having an issue with MS Office file attachments being extremely slow to open in Outlook 2003. I applied a fix I found that involved disabling DDE when opening Office files, and it worked great – attachments opened quickly after the fix. However, now the user is unable to move or copy sheets from one Excel 2003 workbook to another. For example, without the Outlook tweak applied, if he has two Excel spreadsheets open (Book 1 and Book 2), he can right-click on a sheet in Book 1, select “Move or Copy”, and then select Book 2 from the “To Book:” dropdown. With the Outlook tweak applied, following these same steps results in the “To Book:” dropdown displaying only the currently selected workbook, in this case Book 1. Does anyone know of a way to fix the slow attachment loading in Outlook without breaking the move/copy sheet function in Excel?
