I cannot read an Excel Attachment. Why?
Kevin
Assuming you have Excel on your computer and the attached file has no problem opening.......... Do they still have the *.xls extension or a .DAT extension? If your email client is OutLook Express and the sender is using MS Office OutLook(not OE) to send the files, request that he/she send them as attachments using "plain text" as opposed to "Rich Text Format(RTF)".
