If you are using Excel, make sure you have closed Excel before attempting to mail it, Excel maintains a file lock until the file is released by closing it.

Martin, doesn't your MAPIPM fix this issue, i.e. can you email files from within Excel this way (I don't use MS Office so I can't tell myself)?

I am running 4.51 with vista and I am having a problem attaching a file created in excel and saved as a PDF. If i attach the excel file 24m I have no problem. Whenever I try to attach the PDF 30m Pegasus crashes and I have to restart.  Any Ideas???

Thanks

Yes this I know already and I close all files before trying to attach them. I went to my gmail on the web and was able to attach this pdf file but every time I try to do this in pmail it just keeps crash's

thanks for the reply 

OK so now the question is, what version of Adobe are you using. There is a known problem with Adobe Reader and Anti-virus software. Are you by any chance using Virscan? If so, the latest version is supposed to cure this kind of problem. The latest version can be obtained from
