Excel 2003 : send to email as attachment question

Hi,

I have a program which is a web based application. From that program I export data directly to Excel 2003.
I remove some rows, make some changes etc and I want to send the remaining data by email.
I choose the option "Send to email as attachment" (without saving the Excel document first) but than I get an Internet Explorer wizard, similair to that of Outlook Express starting for the first time.

If I save the data first to an Excel file, re-open that file and send it to email as attachment again, it works fine. Same with new documents.
So it seems like it's only failing when the data is first exported from a webbrowser to Excel.

I tried changing the default mail program in Internet Explorer to Outlook 2003 instead of Outlook Express because I know this worked with older Office versions. But in this case it didn't help.

I'm pretty sure there is a simple solution for this but I don't know what it is so if anybody knows how to fix this (so no wizard when sending to outlook) please let me know.

Thanks,

Richard
