Why you should NOT multipost:
• Net traffic is reduced: Only one copy of your article
needs to flow to the thousands of Usenet servers. And the
thousands of people who read both groups have to download only
one copy, not two.
• Your time is saved: You can look in one place to see all
replies.
• Other people's time is saved: When you multipost, people
in one group can't see answers in the other group, which results
in lots of duplication.
• Multiposting annoys lots of people. Some will tell you
about it; some will keep silent but put you in their kill files,
which means you lose the benefit of their answers to your
questions, forever.

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.

People like Garfieldnodie, cause more wasted net traffic than anyother type
of person on a use group, you too post your cross group rant which serves no
real purpose.

At least the original sender is being productive.

The Fix.

In the past i have seen this happen because Outlook was not configured or
running, simply start outlook configure it and set macro security to low and
give that a try.

The particular embeded attachment that i had problesm with was a word
document in an excel worksheet , using the =EMBED("Outlook.FileAttach",""),
this was trying to run outlook but as it was not loaded i was presented with
the error msg Simon reported.

Hope this helps.

And please accept appologies for people like Garfieldnodie.
