Many thanks to Charles Baldi for pointing me down the right road - Thanks

Problem: While working in the ITSM Incident Management console and working 
tickets from a second level support position.  Each time they open an 
attachment in a work info entry the attachment opens the same file no matter 
which ticket they are working on.

Problem is caused by tier-1 agents creating tickets from inbound email 
messages, they are trained to save the email and add as an attachment to the 
ticket -BUT- they were all using the same generic file name of "email.pdf".

When someone opens an attachment in Remedy it is saved to the person's hard 
drive in the temp folder under their Windows profile.  If another attachment is 
opened with the same name Windows will place a number at the end of the file 
name such as email1.pfd; email2.pdf; etc.  When Windows reaches 99 it doesn't 
know what to do.

Fix - Have the individual tech delete all files under the C:\Documents and 
Settings\<Person's Name>\Local Settings\Temp folder.

Recommend a change in policy or training for tier-1 techs to use ticket number 
or something in the attachment file names to prevent problem from happening in 
the future.
