I would say that link that Tuna put up is something to try out.

The old school way is to save the attachment to the desktop (if it is an attachment) and then open excel, then select "open", browse to the file and see if Excel can pick it up from there. Perhaps you already tried that.

actually it doesn't. i'm trying to find out what the email program is. the solution may be just a setting in the email program itself. have you tried the company "help desk" or internet department? or perhaps an administrative assistant/executive assistant - -they usually have to know these things.
