Try this easy step first... goto Tools, Options,
Advanced. Scroll to bottom to Security and make sure
Delete Temporary Internet files when closing browser is
NOT checked.

Why: When you download files, some websites open a second
instance of Internet Explorer, which closes when your
download is complete - and deletes your downloaded file if
thats where is is saved.

Just a thought. Write back if this is not the case and we
can do several others things.

Thanks... Terry

Hi - it doesn't say it's deleted it, it says it's blocked access to it.

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q291387 -

Option 1: Click forward on the message w/the attachment and open it from
there (you don't have to click Send on the new message)

Option 2: look in tools, options, security, and untick the box.
If you go with option 2, make sure you have good antivirus software running
that also scans mail - and keep it updated regularly.

Also note:
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group. Try
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

If this group isn'tcarried on your news server, try using
msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server - it's the source for all the
microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.
