But this problem, which I had thought was a settings problem, has now been solved. My bat temp files had grown to be too many, with 88 empty TEMP subfolders. When I deleted those, the attachments opened normally when asked to. I was considerably relieved to get it fixed, as you can imagine and as I expressed to Urban, whose eagle-eye spotted that piece of the puzzle. Mary>> These are .jpg files, mostly.

LG> The .jpg files are associated to GIMP, not the save to desktop. I see. They are now associated with the ms display function--got guidance to do that on this thread. But of course, changing that association didn't help, since it was the excess .tmp files causing the problem. Even though each of the 88 was empty.

In the ongoing trial-and-error process I removed them and then I put them right back, having saved them in SmartBat. Thanks for all your help, Leif. And BTW, h2g2 , I Didn't Panic. Stayed patient and relied on tbudl and there was the answer. :42: -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
