Retrieving Outlook Attachments with VFP 1

[JRB-Bldr]

In other email client applications File Attachments are often automatically deposited in a separately defined directory.

However in Outlook (for this application - not Outlook Express), until the user Opens the Attachment it seems as though it is kept as part of the over-all PST file (please correct me if this is wrong!)

I am looking for a way to get a VFP application to extract the File Attachment from within the Outlook PST file without the user having to read the email and manually Open the Attachment and then manually Save it somewhere.

The automated Extraction is so that the application can then COPY or MOVE the file to a pre-defined directory on the Server.

Let's assume for now that the user already knows the file name and has entered the name into a VFP form as the first step to be followed by the application programatically getting (extracting??) the file and then moving it elsewhere.

If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JRB-Bldr

Thanks Mike.

After telling many people to look at the FAQ's for an answer, I guess that I should have followed my own advice.

You do deserve a STAR for providing the information in the FAQ.
