OK, I'm ready to try anything at this point. In Outlook 2000, Corporate Workgroup configuration, when I receive mail to my "work" account, (MAPI, X.400)I receive this message. "Could not open one or more attachments. Can't create file UNTITLED.DAT. 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." I am running Windows XP as the operating system. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2000 completely. SP2 and all security patches have been installed. Interestingly, this error does not occur when I am connected remotely at home. I cannot open the UNTITLED.DAT files, but I do not receive the error message as soon as I click on the message. Anyoneever see this error or have any clue how to solve it?

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Hi there

Here is an extract I found from one of my support groups. Try it. It should help. Let me know.

Somewhere in this newsgroup someone
pointed to OL2000: Attachment Temporary Files Always
Stored in Same Location (Q249793). I thought that sounded
like it could be the cause of my problems.

I checked the registry and found the default was set to
Temporary Internet Files\OLK4. However when I checked the
directory there was not OLK4 directory and the directory
was set toRead Only. No matter what I tried I could not
change it from Read only. I then changed the Registry
entry to C:\TEMP\OLK4\, created the OLK4 directory there
and everything works fine now.

Regards

Debbie

Thank you. I had actually found this solution some time ago. I should have closed the question but I forgot about it until I got the email today. But, you are right this does seem to be the solution to this problem.
