Attachment problems in Outlook 2007

[dvillar]

I am running Windows Server 2008 SP2 terminal server with Office 2007 installed. I am redirecting My Documents to the users home directory. I have a GPO that restricts access to the servers local C:\. When I use Outlook 2007 and try to open an office attachment (i.e. word, excel document) I am presented with the Open / Save / Cancel dialog box as usual. If I click open the office document attachment opens without issue. When I try to do a File>Save As from with the application (Word, Excel) I get the following error message:

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your systems administrator.

If I click OK to that error message I can then save the message to my Documents as normal.

If I right-click the office document attachment in Outlook and select the Save-As function from the context menu I can save it without getting the error message.

If I try to open a Notepad attachment I can open it and do a File>Save As without getting the error message.

The problem only seems to occur when I am opening an Office document attachment from within Outlook and I do the File>Save-As function from within the application.

Has anyone seen this before? What did you do about it?

Thanks in advance

Did you ever find a fix to this? We are having EXACTLY the same issue and are having trouble correcting it.

There are many quality softwares in the world. But unfortunately not every program can help you. I ran into similar situation and my good luck consists in the following. I by chance caught sight next utility which resolved all my troubles for seconds. To my mind it has all necessary resources for working out almost any problem with ms outlook - opening .pst files without outlook.
