Hello,

I am using Outlook 98 with a vb application. I am using the atttachmentname property to get the file name of the attachment. The problem is I need the file name to be 9 characters but the property returns only the first 8 characters and the .txt. Is it possible to for this property to read more than the first 8 characters?

Thanks.
