It means that Windows doesn't know what program to use to open the file. If
you are opening it from an Explorer window, right-click, choose Open With, then select the appropriate program. You can check a box for "Always use this program to open this kind of file" (or words to that effect). If the file is a Word document, then this should not be necessary if you start Word first and open the file from within Word. -- Suzanne S.

Turn off your CAPS LOCK and stop SHOUTING!
The message means that none of the programs on your PC have been configured to open this type of file. But as you have not told us what type of program created this 'document' file it is or what programs you have installed it is difficult to advise further. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CORAL CHICK wrote: I HAVE BEEN SENT A DOCUMENT VIA E-MAIL WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE.
