no - read the question again

What is the attachment on the email???? - there are no comma's etc , so yup is not a valid answer. Is the attacement a picture, a video, a sound??? What is the extension of it - the bit after the full stop. This will give us a clue as to what program you need to open it

SAFETY FIRST, make sure the email is from someone you know! DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT if you don't know who it's from. Even if you do know who it's from, but you weren't expecting an email with attachments, DON'T OPEN IT until you've spoken with them to make sure it is a legitimate email.

Sorry if I'm teaching my gwannie to suck eggs. Wouldn't want you to get a nasty virus or anything.

It finally arrived Iain. Right they are a ppt file - which is a power point presentation. If your machine does not have power point then you are a wee bit stuffed. I can open them, print them and fax them to you tomorrow if you like

Or download Powerpoint Viewer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=428d5727-43ab-4f24-90b7-a94784af71a4&displaylang=en), and open up the file using that.
