Not Sure What You're Asking

by Grif Thomas Former Forum moderator Jun 20, 2007 1:06AM PDT

Outlook doesn't "open" or "convert" files such as the ones you're referring to.. It's an email program that basically deals with message files such as .msg and such... .act files, depending on the program that created them can be created as media files or VisualFox Pro, maybe others..

Which Outlook program are YOU using?

If you're trying to "open" an .act attachment within Outlook, you'll need to install a program that is associated with those file types...such as the ones I indicated above.

If you're trying to "send" those files types, they should send fine when "attached" to a message.

Hope this helps and let us know more.
