Attachment error: The operation failed. An object could not be fou

The problem:
I have a small office of 40 people running almost entirely with Outlook 2003
connecting to a local Exchange Server 2003. When a user tries to open an
attachment in mail I am intermittently recieving "The operation failed. An
object could not be found." aka the most cryptic error message Outlook
displays.

The configuration: Windows XP machine running on a fairly new Dell. Outlook
2003 is set up NOT to use caching mode. There are no PST or archived folders
involved.

What I've tried:
*Deleting the profile and recreating it. (probably 25 times in a variety of
ways)
*Clearing the form cache and locating any residing FRMCACHE.DAT files
*Deleting ghost pst
(http://www.publicshareware.com/outlook-public-fix-profile.php)
*Deleting everything including outcmd.dat in C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
*Deleting everything including extend.dat in C:\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
*Run a Detect & Repair on Outlook.
*Checked the registry entries of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\
and
HKEY_USERS\<user id identifier>\ Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\
CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\ Profiles\<profile name>\ <cryptic
alphanumeric code>

Any help would be useful.

Many thanks rob. That did it.

I bow and chant "I'm not worthy" to the master of helping point out that
which is under our nose.
