The attachments from Outlook are saved to the Outlook Secure Temp folder.
See if this helps:
The SecureTemp folder for Outlook 2000 to 2003 installed on Windows XP is at
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\OLK*. The OLK directory will end in a series of numbers.
Outlook 2007 places the Secturetemp folder at
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.Outlook\8A0VMD3A, where 8A0VMD3A can be any random characters.
Vista moves the Temp Internet folder to
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\,
so you'll need to look there for the OLK or Content.Outlook folder.

After furious head scratching, ADKR asked:
| Thanks for the idea. I can feel that you are on the right track. I
| did find the properties of the attachment, but could not locate the
| file. I have "show hidden files" marked and I did an "everywhere
| search" but could not find it. The pathway to the file is:
|
| C:\Users\MICAH\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet
| Files\Content.IE5\5HU40140
|
| Once I got to C:\Users\MICAH\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ there
| was no \Temporary Internet Files\
|
| The folders there were: 1033, Burn, Explorer, GameExplorer, WWER,
| UsrClass The files there were: UsrClass.dat.LOG1, UsrClass.dat.LOG2,
| UsrClass.dat_previous, WindowsUpdate
|
| I am going to try again later and will post the result. Thanks for
| the help.

|| ||| I sent myself a Office/Word file attached to an email. I opened it

||| to hit "save
||| as" and save it to my desktop. Now when I opened the file again
||| from the email none of the work was saved. Is it lurking somewhere
||| or am I doomed to
||| start over. Thanks.
