I am using Outlook 2000. I have tried the copy and paste and have also now tried the repair explorer. Still get the same error Can not open one or more attachments.
 
You might have to change the security zone for the attachments...
Try this...
To change your attachment security zone setting, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Security tab.
Click Attachment Security.
High security (recommended for all users) will warn you of potential security issues with attachments.
None (not recommended) offers no protection from potential security problems. Use this setting only if you are sure all messages you receive are safe.
