SYMPTOMS
Outlook 2000, without the Outlook E-mail Security Update applied, may not contain the Attachment Security button on the Security tab of the Options dialog box.



CAUSE
This problem can occur if you have applied a hotfix to Outlook 2000 that was created after the release of the Outlook E-mail Security Update (June 2000), but that does not contain the e-mail security feature set. The Outlook E-mail Security Update removes the Attachment Security button by design. Some fixes that were released later did not re-enable the Attachment Security button.

Some fixes do include the Outlook E-mail Security Update, so if you apply a hotfix that includes the Outlook E-mail Security Update, you should not have an Attachment Security button in the Options dialog box.



RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Microsoft Outlook service pack that contains this fix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

NOTE: In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific update will resolve your problem. The typical support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.

The English-language version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:
