Cannot Open and Save Attachments in Outlook

Outlook provides you the facility of sending a file as an attachment. You can send one or more file at the same time. There are some situations where the recipient user can’t open or save the attachment. When you double click on the attachment, you may get the following error message:

“Cannot open file”

When you try to save these attachments in a new temporary folder, you fail here also and get the following error message:

"Cannot save attachment"

After these error messages, you neither read nor save the attachments and the data stored in these files can’t be accessed and get lost.

Cause

This problem generally occurs if your windows firewall doesn’t allows attachments to be opened, or the attachment has been corrupted or your user profile is damaged.

How to fix it

You can resolve this problem by disabling your firewall or security settings or by changing the user profile. This solution works in case if the problem occurred due to firewall settings and corrupted user profile.

But in case if the problem has been occurred due to corrupted attachments, then it can’t be solved using this method. The data stored in the attached file can’t be extracted and used. In this way the problem leads to the nightmare of data loss.

But there is no need to panic. Your data is still recoverable and restorable. You can repair your corrupted Outlook attachment and can restore it. It can be done using Outlook PST repair software.
