GW7, Outlook 2003 to 2007 Attach File Problem.

We have a client that uses GW7.0.3 for Document Management but not for email. The insist on using Outlook.
Most users here have Outlook 2003 but some are upgrading to 2007.
The 2003 users, if they choose to have Word as default mail editor, can click the paperclip to attach a file the dialog to browse the GW library opens or you can choose Application Dialog and browse the c:.
Outlook 2007/2010 have no option to not use Word as their default editor. BUT when you click the paperclip you only get the application dialog, not the GW dialog that allows you to choose docs from the library.
Anyone know why?
I suggested some work-arounds (save to c:... for example) and you would have thought i insulted his mother...
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Well, actually I think it's quite cool (and totally unexpected) that Outlook
2003 worked. But here's why it worked.
Word can be "integrated" with GroupWise of course. So that when you are in
Word, and choose File|Open you have the options you described. This is TOTALLY
a function of Word though, and really has nothing at all to do with Outlook,
except that Outlook was calling Word during it's email composition, and also
using Word's file dialogs. So, now that Outlook has taken away the ability to
use Word as the editor, it has essentially broken the undocumented and
unexpected integration of GroupWise DMS into Outlook!
I can see no way to fix this, since it's really Word that's doing the lookup for
you for the attachment, and not actually Outlook.

Cant Edit Message Body (outlook 2003 and 2007), Cant select text VIA click (word), Cant Edit Advanced Options (word)

A number of my users are having similar problems across the entire network. These issues have started on 8/26/2014
This problem is not localized to a specific outlook version, the problem is happening on 2003 and 2007 alike. Also this problem is starting to move into MS-Word.
In outlook i am unable to click the message body. If i click the message body nothing happens. I cannot select any text, type, or anything in the message body. I am however able to type in the message body if i press the 'tab key' and navigate to the message
body.
I have wiped out profiles. reset all user settings, changed datafiles etc. Nothing i do seems to affect this problem.
On microsoft word i am unable to edit a number of documents. These documents are readable, editable etc on different computers. There are not any protections on the files. The user who reported this problem is however unable to edit the text even though
others are able to. To correct this problem we have protected and unprotected the file checked permissions all with no luck.
On the same computer i am unable to change any advanced options. When i attempt to click the listing nothing happens. Its acting in the same manner as outlook is described above. However i am unable to select anything using the 'tab' key.
These problems started on a few different computers, but is beggining to spread and affect more users across the network.
This also does not seem to be a group policy issue. We have a number of different user groups on the network, and this problem is not isolated to any specific user, or group, group member etc..
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to lend some assistance to solve this matter.

Hi,
Please first verify the activation status of your Microsoft Office.
If your Microsoft Office is activated, please try to start Outlook or Word in safe mode to check if this issue persists. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.
Also please try to run a repair of your Office installation to check the result. See:

After Outlook 2003 to 2007 upgrade, calendar no longer syncs properly

Hi all,
I have a client that I have been troubleshooting iPhone/Outlook problems with and am stumped. After seeing online how many issues there are with Outlook information sync, I have tried everything to no avail so I thought I would ask for outside ideas.
My client had Outlook 2003 operating in an Exchange environment and everything was working perfectly synching his iPhone 3G to contacts and calendars within Outlook. Recently we upgraded to Office 2007. Now his iPhone sync does not update the calendar at all. It seems as though it does sync the old calendar information that was present in Outlook 2003 before the upgrade.
After much troubleshooting, I believe it may have something to do with the old Outlook 2003 calendar. I have tried deleting recurring appointments, backup and restore of the iPhone, and applying all software updates to both iTunes and Office.
When trying a restore of the iPhone, I opted to restore to factory settings and then leave the phone 'blank' and try sync of the calendar alone with the 'Replace all calendar info on the iPhone with Outlook calendar' option enabled. This resulted in a sync that did populate calendar data, but it did not match the data displayed on the calendar in Outlook 2007. It was as though it was synching the old calendar present before the Office suite was upgraded.
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks for any help!
Cheers.

I am having the same issue and the article you're suggesting only relates to a Mac operating system. Whereas I do own a Mac (Mac Mini & Macbook), this issue is occuring when I'm attempting to sync my iPhone with my calendar & contacts at the office.
I just recently upgraded to Office 2007 from Office 2003 and now when I try to sync, it seems to get stuck during the syncing of contacts. I am just an end user and my company does not support iPhone so there aren't any changes I can make to the exchange server, etc....
Please help!!!! I desperately need access to my updated calendar appointments.

Attach File Problem

My 8310 Curve has a 2GB Media Card in it. Up until about 4 days ago everything was fine and had been for 1-1/2 years. My new problem is that when I attach an Excel file from my media card to a pre-written memo and try to forward it as an e-mail, ultimately I will just get a Red "X" indicating that the e-mail failed to be sent. Prior to a few days ago the e-mail would be sent with no problem. I have not made any changes to anything which could have caused this. I always try to solve my own problems and so I went to the "Options" icon in the "applications". Then I went to "Status", clicked the "menu" and clicked "Database Sizes" - under "Attachment Data" it says "1/0.9K". Since I now cannot send or receive any of these Excel files (when I try to receive one it now only accepts "3%" of the attached file) I believe that the problem may be the allowed size of the attachment. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thanks,

Exchange Server 2007 : Attachment Size Problem

Dear Support Team,
My company has used Exchange Server 2007, Our Attachment policy is limit 10 MB. Our user send the attachment size 7 MB to Company B that it's the same policy.
But user in company B cannot received attachment, it's exceed.
I check EventID in my site.

- Transfer is more than 10 MB
Why? Please help to clarify and suggest how do I set the new policy.
Thanks in advance.

Hi MasterBird,
It is hard to say how ??% per attachment increased, it's according to the encapsulation.
I have tested on my real Outlook, (47KB->51KB), (535KB->539KB), (575KB->579KB).

Uploading and attaching files problem

Dear all,
Since a couple of weeks, I can not attach anything to a mail nor upload any image or file on any website (facebook, fileshare etc.).
The finder always freezes (no matter if it's Mail, Safari, Chrome or etc.) and I have to start the app again. I don't know where the issue comes from and I would appreciate any help on this matter.
I'm under OS X 10.9.2. (Macbook air 13")
Thanks for your help!

Historically, if you wanted to send a UNIX folder via email, you would compress it into a foo.zip file. Apple understood this with Pages ’09 v4.n, when it took a Package (folder), compressed it, and renamed the .zip extension to .pages. All automatically, with general email and filesharing compatibility.
Along comes Pages v5+, with a totally new document architecture that is incompatible with prior Pages versions. To the Finder, it too looks like a file due to Package magic — and yet, in its natural state, is an uncompressed folder. To get this to play nice with Gmail webmail, and non-Apple filesharing services, you have to compress this document (folder) yourself before mail attachment, or placing on your preferred filesharing service. This is achieved by right-clicking the document icon, and choosing compress, which produces foo.pages.zip.
The other work-around is to simply not use Pages v5+, and resume using Pages ’09 v4.3. If you had Pages ’09 v4.3 previously installed, the new Pages installation moved it into /Applications/iWorks ’09. The trick here is that you cannot double-click on a document to open it as Pages v5+ will try to open it. You wil need the right-click contextual menu and Open With... Pages (4.3).
Yes, it is a PITA.

Upgrading from outlook 2003 and 2007 to office 365 small business outlook

We just bought office 365 small business thinking I can easily set up outlook as we did in outlook 2007.
That is creating an account using POP3 and SMTP for every individual.
I just started watching a video of how to set up the out look in office 365 and it does not make any sense to add all 30 mail boxes set up in Network solutions and work around our domain names and all sort of unnecessary complicated step to use this on line
office.
Can we just set it up the way we did in outlook 2007 without having to deal with all parties involved?
Regards;

Hi,
I suppose you used Office Customization Tool (OCT) to create the POP3 accounts for the users? With OCT it's quite easy with .prf as I can tell. However, in Office 365 we don't have OCT so that's probably why you don't know how to create the
accounts for users.
Due to the lack of related resource here, I actually suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community, where this question can be properly addressed:

Outlook 2003 and Office 2007/10 Files

Our exec is having problems opening up files created with the Office 2007/10 standard...doesn't matter if it is WORD or EXCEL...and he has the compatibility pack installed to read the files.
When he tries to open a DOCX or XLSX file within an email attachment in Outlook 2003, it says the file cannot be found...if he saves it first and opens it up fro mthe save position, it works. And he can open standard DOC or XLS files within a attachment email.
We have uninstalled and reinstalled the compatability pack / file converter with same results...this is a situation where he just wants it fixed and fast.
Thanks...

.XLS attached file in Outlook 2013 opens Word !

Hi,
I've a strange issue with some of my RDP Servers 2008 R2 (with XenApp 6.5), with Office 2013, Outlook connected to the cloud.
When I try to open a joined xls file in an mail, Word launches!
But if I try to open an XLSX, Excel launches.
And If I detached the XLS, and opened it with explorer, Excel launches!
These servers are deployed using a sysprep image, and there is only Office 2013 Std version installed.
Thats very strange. XLS extension association is correct, and everything worked well at the beginning. Something happens which cause this issue.
Please help me to diagnose and solve this strange phenomenon...

Hi all, and thanks for your responses.
I already tried to repair Office 2013, re-associate .XLS files and re-register Excel, and nothing works.
Some precisions:
Servers are deployed from a sysprep image (and image is a fresh handmade install) and are going to be used as XenApp servers
1st connexion RDP, as Administrator: Open Outlook mailbox, open .XLS attached file: Excel launches
2nd connexion RDP, as User: Open the same Outlook mailbox, open the same .XLS attached file: Word launches !!!
3rd connexion RDP, as Administrator: Open the same Outlook mailbox, open the same .XLS attached file: Word launches !!!!!
Something seems to be broken.
Note 1 – If I create a new mail with Gmail, attached the problematic .XLS file, send the mail to my Outlook mailbox, opens .XLS file in Outlook: Excel launches !!!!!
Note 2 – If I forward the problematic mail to my Gmail mailbox, and the opened .XLS attached file, Excel launches.
Note 3 – Everythings works normally with .XLSX attached files.
So, the issue seems to
only appear when I attached .XLS files in mails created with Outlook, and opened with Outlook.
As Fox Mulder is not available any longer, please help me !!!!!

Iphone 3g won't sync calendar back to outlook 2003 using owa

Using exchange, (outlook web access company server), I am able to get mail and contacts working great. Calendar entries/ appointments from my outlook (pc) show up fine on the iphone as soon as i enter them on my pc.
however, when i create a calendar entry on my iphone, it does not show up on my outlook calendar(pc).
Thoughts?

Hi man, I got the same problem with my iPhone, but it has been solved..
First, You need the Outlook 2003 or 2007 only, if you have a earlier version of this it isn't work.
Second, You sould need to create a new PST file whit the Outlook Version 2003 or 2007, the file format must be on Unicode Format, no Outlook (97-2000) format, with this file format the import of calendar doesn't gonna be work.
Third, You now have a PST whit Outlook 2003 or 2007 Version, you need to manually put your events on the calendar, Why? Cause if you just move it on the new calendar it gonna create and old instance of the event not a new instance, That's why iTunes doesn´t sync the calendar.
I done all these and actually I can sync the calendar with my iphone.

Outlook 2003 Calendar syncing bug fixed!

Since Apple has refused to acknowledge this major bug in Itunes 7.7 - iPod Touch 2.0, I decided to solve the problem myself.
As you all know. The new Apple software and firmware upgrades have destroyed the syncing of Outlook Calendars with both the iPhone and iPod. Syncing calendars doesn't work anymore.
I use my iPod Touch/Outlook Calendars everyday for my work. I need my calendars to be in sync always.
Here is what I am doing to solve the problem - and it seems to work. Test it yourself.
1. Open Outlook 2003 or 2007.
2. Go to the Calendar tab.
3. Find a Calendar appointment or event that is not syncing correctly with your iPod Touch.
4. Make note of the details of the appointment - date, duration, recurring etc.
5. Write these details on a scrap of paper.
6. Store the paper in your wallet.
I joke - but I'm getting mad.

As much as I love my iPod Touch, this problem syncing with Outlook 2003 -- and the failure of Apple to acknowledge it (at least there's nothing I've seen so far) -- has me ready to toss it out my office window. It all seems so random: Sometimes it's fine and the sync woriks, sometimes it's producing multiple versions of an appointment, and sometimes the appointment gets deleted from Outlook, the iPod or both. Looks like I actually do need a paper backup!! This is the second time that updating my iPod Touch has resulted in a major slip in functionality. The last time I was told that by an insider that Apple engineers dislike having to work out bugs with Windows, that they don't like Windows. Are we being punished? This is seriously annoying.

TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh). First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there. Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

Interesting response, Kappy - Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook). Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud". W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.
Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
     1) I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference? Why the different toatl count?
     2) Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere. What's in those files? And where are they?
Probably more important questions get down to:
     3) Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"? This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle. Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
     4) And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
Thanks again for your interest and comments. - Russ-AZ

Problems attaching PDF's to Outlook 2003 emails

Hi,
An issue is starting to develop in our offices where .pdf files don't attach to an email from the Windows XP explorer context menu when Outlook is open. The attachments attach nicely to a new message if outlook is not running at the time. Even with Outlook running they can attach .pdf's if the user copies the file from explorer and pastes it in the new email. Nothing of the above applies to any filetype other than .pdf's.
Regards
Mike
update:
All our computers have recently had Avecto Privilege Guard Client pushed out to them via group policy.
update:
Ok, I think I just answered my own question. I uninstalled the Avecto Privilege Guard Client and everything was again working just fine. I can only presume that the Avecto Client is blocking pdfshell.dll from making calls to Outlook.

No, the pdfs are market sheets, specification sheets, etc. I open them in the google drive, send to/open in adobe and email. Typically they attach just fine, but the new files that my company added to the shared google drive won't attach to an email as an attachment. The entire pdf shows up on the email. If I send the email a little red box shows up in the body of the email. Does this make sense? I appreciate the assistance.
