We have had several users encounter this error while trying to attache
Word Documents. Does anyone know what this error means? It is not in

The error -199 is listed on the OE error page. Many errors are similar to
those for Entourage. The solutions listed though do not seem to pertain to
your problem. Can you give more details. Are the files on the individual's
system or a server? What version of Entourage and the OS?

One more thought. Test for database corruption. Create a new Identity in
Entourage and try sending a test message with attachment. If it works in the
new Identity, then the problem is database corruption.

The user was receiving the error in Entourage 11.2.5 while attepting to
attache a Word Document. Here was the process:

User creates new e-mail.
User attempts to add attachement by clicking on paper clip icon in
message window.
User chooses file to attach.
User recieves error -199.

Dragging and dropping the file into the attachment area did not produce
an error, but it also didn't attache the file.

We were finally able to resolve the issue by copying and pasting the
data from the word file into a new word file. This new word file was
able to be attached without any problems. Chances are the error -199
was caused by junk data within the original word document.

Thanks for the feedback. I can add this to the Error Page and hopefully help
other users.
