Microsoft Outlook Problem

Hi all i have a small problem with Outlook.

I tried to send an email a few days ago but the attachments were too large. The problem is that this message is srtill stuck in my outbox and evertime i log into Outlook it tries to send this large message and just holds everthing up.

I have tried highlighting the message and deleting it but it is still there and if i try to open it i get a message saying that it has begun to transmit?

any ideas?
A banker is someone who lends you an umbrella when the sun is shining, and who asks for it back when it start to rain.

    Do you mean Outlook or Outlook Express? Open the mail on the outbox to edit it and detatch the attachments.

    But you need to be a subscriber to read that fix - any chance of the solution in your own words here? (I'm assuming copyright problems if you simply C opy & Paste - but I won't tell ...) :rolleyes:

    sorry pressed enter too quick!

    solved by making outlook work offline and finish synchronising folders etc, then because i was offline it didnt try and fix the problem so it let me delete the file!

    easy peasy!

    lol

    thanks anyway
