Attempting to view a WordPerfect 5.1 or 5.2 for Windows document as an
attachment in Microsoft Mail for Windows with WordPerfect for Windows
running as a background application, will result in the following error
message:
The application could not be executed
CAUSE
This error message is not caused by Microsoft Mail for PC Networks; it
occurs as a result of WordPerfect for Windows not supporting the Multiple
Document Interface (MDI).
RESOLUTION
According to WordPerfect Technical Support, this is a known issue with
WordPerfect and there is no workaround at this time. To open a WordPerfect
attachment from within any Windows application, you cannot have WordPerfect

you must leave the Mail client, close WordPerfect for Windows, reenter the
Mail client, and then open the attachment.
