Attaching documents with Lotus-script

[andrew]

Does anyone know an easy way automatically attach files to existing Notes
documents, presumably via lotus script.

I have tried doing this with @Commands but they can`t be run in an agent on
all documents.

I have seen plenty of examples for creating new files as objects but not
for attaching exisiting files.

Grateful for any ideas

Hi Andrew, here is an example
Set Body = New NotesRichtextItem(BDoc,"Body")
Set OF = Body.EmbedObject(EMBED_ATTACHMENT,"","C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT")

Andrew,

First you want to make sure that your document contains a rich text field.

Here is an example of some Lotus Script code that will attach a file in your
notes\data directory to a field called files.

dim session as NotesSession
dim doc as NotesDocument
dim db as NotesDatabase
dim rtItem as NotesRichTextItem

set session = new NotesSession
set db = session.CurrentDatabase

set doc = db.CreateDocument
set rtItem = doc.CreateRichtextItem("files")
call rtItem.EmbedObject(EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", "d:\notes\data\file.txt", "The
Attached File")

'Note : d:\notes\data\file.txt is the name of the file you want to attach.
I just made this up
'Note2 : "The Attached File" is just a name used to reference it later. You
can use whatever you like
'Note 3: You can use the DIR function to recurse through directories on the
clients machine.

Hope this helps.
Richard

Hi...

Does anyone know what this error message means and how I can get around it?
I've set the ACL wide open to everyone on the database I am performing DbColumn
on. Or is it a server setting?

HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - For security reasons, remote Notes
database lookups are not permitted

Thanx!

Steve,

I'm going to guess you're trying to do a @DbColumn to a different
server. This is not allowed via HTTP. You can't even specify the
current server. You'll need to pull a local replica (if you don't
already have one) on the server running the HTTP task and specify NULL
for the server.
