Hi,

>>I am sure the file (Email attachment ) saves is correct and works fine

Does this issue happen to all email attachments or just a certain one? If it's a certain file, is it an earlier version of Office program object? If this is the case, I'd recommend you have a look at the following Microsoft KB article and see if it applies to your situation:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/932121/error-message-when-you-try-to-edit-an-embedded-object-in-a-2007-office-file-in-excel-2003,-in-powerpoint-2003,-or-in-word-2003-the-server-application,-source-file,-or-item-cannot-be-found

Does it happen with files created locally on your computer?

In addition, we may also try to open the problematic attachment and then copy its contents and paste to a new document. Then, try to insert the new file to see if this issue continues.
