Emailing attachment puts on two extensions

[TomR100]

Hello,
I have an application that creates a .exe file. The user renames the file to with a .dat extension. The problem is when he tries to send the file out the file gets renamed. Example: csf32003.dat.txt

Is there something that needs to be changed on the server or in Outlook? I am not very familiar with this problem but the user has been creating, renaming, and sending files out monthly with no other incidents.

Any suggestions?


Thank you in advance.

When you save the file you MUST put quotes before and after the name in the file save as box ex: "mynewfile.dat"
This preserves the name and extension.

Hope this works.

Hello Squawkingbeak,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I was unable to use the "" to surround the file name like you suggested.

Thanks
