Hi Jim, James, and Les, Just wanted to say thanks for these suggestions. I hadn't used Quickview, generally I prefer to just open the attachment, and then decide what I want to do with it. However, in this case, it did let me view the document. And James, making keyboard shortcuts is very cool! I had no idea you could do this. This could be useful in lots of situations. So thanks again, all for the help. Best, Donna On Jan 31, 2010, at 6:49 PM, Jim Gatteys wrote:
