Recently I've encountered a problem when trying to open Word.doc
files. Every time I click on a .doc file in Outlook emails and
in Explore window, I get the following dialog message: The
system can not file the specified file.

When I click on a .doc extension file in Explore window in
documents folder, Word opens up but without the selected .doc.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi Titanl9,

This newsgroup addresses programming questions (VBA). Your question
has nothing to do with VBA, so you're unlikely to find people here
who can help you. Try in the word.setup.networking newsgroup.

When you repost there, be sure to
- give the version of Office and Windows involved
- quote the error text you see EXACTLY (you have at least one,
probably two mistakes in it). If the people who want to help you
have to search the Knowledge Base, they need the exact wording.
