Hi

I made a shortcut in the outlook bar, its to an exell file, but I want it to open in outlook insteed of a new exell vindow - can this be done?

Thanks
 
Hi,

Hold down your TAB button and rigth click at the same time on the shortcut of the Exell file and select open with and than select open with Outlook.

This chould work.

Not that you d'ont select it to open always with outlook or al Exell files will open in the future with Outlook and this is not wat you want.

I can't get it to work

If i hold down the tab and right clik at the same time - it just run through the options you get when right clicking. I can't get the "open with" to apper in outlook at all.

If I right clik and hold shift down the option called "open with" appers, but if i select Outlook to open my file with, it attaches it to a email.

The ting that I would like is to have it open the exel file in outlook! - not attach it to a email
