Joe: Can't tell if anyone else responded to this, so here goes:
Most recent flavors of Windows do not display extensions of"known file types" by default. Windows suppresses this display unless you turn iton. To display extensions in XP: 1) open Windows explorer to any folder 2) click Tools-Folder Options 3) click on the View tab 4) scroll down the Advanced settings list to find the entry "Hideextensions for known file types" and uncheck the checkbox for thisentry 5) click Apply and OK. All file extensions should now display inany Explorer window.

The .sxc spreadsheet attachments comes from another source (another sender). In both cases the extensions show up in the original E-mail itself When I open the attachments to the E-Mail with the .sxw attachemnts, they open fine. When I open the attachments to the E-Mail with the .sxc attachments, the .sxc file extension is gone. In both cases I used the same opening procedure. With this new information, can anyone say what the problem is? How do I find the file extension preferences to see what they are set at? Joe --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
