Oopen Attachment (2003)

[Matz]

Hi,

I am trying to open an attachment that is stored in a form when the form is opened, can this be done?

Fiddling in Outlook VBA i am doing:

Sub temp()
Dim m As MailItem, a As Attachment
Set m = ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
Set a = m.Attachments(1)
' code here to say a.OPEN !!!!
Set m = Nothing: Set a = Nothing
End Sub

Any ideas? I know I would have to script this in VBScript.

I want the user to be able to open an outlook form, which is basically an email preformatted with subject, and recipients etc, which contains a Word Form, which needs to be filled in and saved before sending.

Thanks

There's no direct attachment open Method in Outlook VBA through 2003. You'll have to save the att. to a temporary location, then instance Word and pass it the path and filename.

Thanks JohnBF

I feared as much ;o)
