Cannot open Excel attachments in Outlook 2003
When
we cannot open Excel attachments in Outlook 2003 there are a few
possible solutions that we can try.
Symptoms usually consist of an
error message similar to
"Can't open this item. Can't
create file permission denied."
Make sure your computer’s hard drive is not full, this will stop any
applications creating temporary files which will prevent
documents being created or opened. If this is the case generally
Windows will have notified you prior to this when disk space was
getting low.
Did you know Microsoft Excel creates a hidden temporary file
location?
When the amount of files with
duplicate names becomes greater than 99 then this can prevent
Excel files being opened or even saved from Outlook, it can even
prevent files from opening period.
If your Outlook or Excel is having these problems
then more than likely it will be this.
To resolve this firstly we need
to find the hidden directory, its directory name usually
contains OLK and most of the time it can be found in the
temporary files directory of the users profile, but for a more
definitive way to pinpoint the location, run Regedit from
the Start > Run menu
Now simply search for the
OutlookSecureTempFolder
Once you find this copy it you
will be able to see the actual location of this hidden
directory, copy and paste the path into the
Start > Run menu,
then hit enter, this will then open the hidden location.
Next delete all files found in
here.
Launch Outlook / Excel and retry.
Another reason when
we Cannot open Excel attachments from Outlook is the result
of not having permission to create the temp file to the
particular location, this can happen if your computer security
has been modified to prevent access.
