Attention law firm IT people

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just a request, and maybe you can provide an explanation of why this happens too. Can you please train the lawyers and legal assistants that you work for to actually attach a document when they’re sending it to an outside entity, like the one I work for? I’m really tired of getting yelled at by my users because they can’t open the attachments when all that really got sent to them was a link to the document as it exists in your document management system. Obviously, from here, that link is useless.

Thanks, I’d appreciate it! 🙂

Update: Dennis Kennedy provides some insight, and a good suggestion for people in my shoes, in response.

    Re: The IE patch. According to Brian’s comment , the IE patch for version 5.X doesn’t actually fix one of the vulnerabilities. As well, Chris mentions that the patch may break Pane views in Outlook 2000 & 2002. Which just goes to prove my theory that anything MS or any other company releases should be…
