I don't understand because the article describes and displays the exact message windows I have always seen when attempting to open or save a .pdf or other attachment in Outlook - though I do have a very old version of Outlook.

But, as I was clicking within Outlook, I came across a setting that set any subsequent re-opening of the same attachment in Outlook to be remembered in the same way it was opened or saved in the initial opening or saving. (or something like that :7 )

In other words, try sending a different .pdf to yourself or have someone else send one to you.

If that makes any difference, let me know and I'll try to find the setting again.

Jim.
