    I have build 3188 which is to supposed to allow drag and drop from windows to mac and reverse. I want to drag email attachements in Outlook to my mac desktop of folders but it doesn't work.
    When I drag a file I get the green plus circle so it looks like it will work and also the hour glass is displayed which gives hope that the transfer is happening but the file doesn't show up on the windows side.
    thanks for any help

    Just drop the file on the mail body to attach the file.

    Thank you Alex. My issue is not attaching files in Outlook; this is working fine but I've had no success dragging a file attached to an incoming email in Outlook to my Mac desktop or to a folder in the Finder.

    I have a similar problem also. While I can drag & drop, I used to be able to select/copy in Windblows XP and then paste into a Mac app. Not anymore! Any thoughts?

    Hi Gandalf

    I've never had a problem copy and pasting in either direction. I wonder what changed for you?
    Concerning drag and drop I discovered that I can drag from Windows desktop to Mac but I can't drag a file attachment from Outlook while in Coherence mode directly on to my Mac desktop or anywhere else. That's what I really want to do.
    Ideas Anybody?
