Attachment size

[Guest]

Is there a property that allows me to retrieve the size of an email
attachment through VBA?

Thanks - Steve Moore

No, not in the Outlook Object Model.

Thanks Dmitry
I thought I was going blind not being able to find it - perhaps a property
that needs to be exposed, it is a field on outlook views.

Any ideas on how I could retrieve attachment sizes without having to save to
file and read?

Sorry, now I see that you want the size of the attachment, not the record.
Ignore previous post.

I did notice that Redemption has an attachment size property - will have a
look there

CDO 1.21 - Attachment.Fields(PR_ATTACH_SIZE)
Extended MAPI: read PR_ATTACH_SIZE from IAttach using HrGetOneProp or
IAttach::GetProps
Redemption - Attachment.Size or Attachment.Fields(PR_ATTACH_SIZE)

PR_ATTACH_SIZE = 0x0E200003
