Outlook 2003 - Can't Attach Files From Explorer 1

[3dmap1]

I am trying to use Outlook instead of Outlook Express but this is one thing I can't do and don't know what setting I need to change.
If I am in Explorer and have files I want to send in an e-mail, I select those files, right click the mouse, go to Send To/Mail Recipient. My e-mail program comes up and I pick a recipient, put in Subject and hit send and it goes. This works great in Outlook Express but in Outlook, everything works except when I hit "Send" nothing happens. I have changed Outlook to my default e-mail program and it still doesn't work.

Any Suggestions?

Is Outlook working otherwise? You can send and receive mail? The send button does not work only when you have a an attachment?

Outlook works otherwise, it doesn't work only when I use this method. This method is more convenient to me since I have to edit several files using an editing program and then mail several files at one time, I am already in the directory to begin with. This way, I have to go to Outlook and then navigate to the directory and select the files.

One thing I just noticed was that when I try to send the files from Explorer to Outlook, when the e-mail comes up it says "This message has not been sent" even before I select a recipient. This message is above the "To:" button and below the toolbar.

Thanks smah, that did the trick. It works fine now.
