start outlook, click on tools, then options and then click on the security tab, under the virus protection listing it will have a check box ticked next to text saying 'do not allow doccuments.....' you need to uncheck this box. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE SURE ABOUT THE FILE!, EVEN IF IT IS FROM A FRIEND YOU ARE ADVISED TO VIRUS CHECK IT BEFORE OPENING IT!. I would also advise you to find a program which autochecks your emails for viruses, such as Zone Alarm
