posted April 12, 2004 7:21 PM I'm trying to figure out how to save an attachment, but am a little unclear as to how... Here's what I'd like to do (without saving ALL attachments): Message.Load strFilename For i = 1 to Message.PartList.Count Set objPart = Message.PartList.Item(x) If i = 1 Then objPart.SaveToDisk <-- how??? End If Next i Is it possible to save just one of the attachments without saving all of them? (Yes, I am aware of the .AttachmentDirectory property). I'd like to maintain control over this because I am providing a web-based solution to my users and I don't want to have to keep track of all of the attachments - only when the user clicks on the attachment to download, that is when I want to save it to a temporary location. Thanks. |

posted April 12, 2004 7:27 PM First set Attachment directory to false to stop automatic saving. Then use Part.Data to access the string or ByteArray data in the file (see the Help for details) Once you have the data just use some sort of File I/O object to save it. You can use DartStream if you want: Dim stream as new DartStream stream.Filemode = createAlways stream.Filename = Part.File stream.Write Part.Data Set stream = Nothing |

posted April 12, 2004 7:45 PM Oh, so the .Data method will automatically decode the data? I guess I thought it would come through as the encoded data. Thanks, I'll give it a try. |

posted April 12, 2004 11:52 PM Seems to work nicely. I might add that it is important to set the .AttachmentDirectory = "" BEFORE iterating through the parts - for some reason, it sticks misc. characters in the filename if you don't, such as (98) and ./ I'm not sure why. At any rate, it all works dandy now. Thanks for your prompt help! |
