problem with Attachments

[Damian]

Hi
I've got sokme problem with attachments
I need to export a full file path of attachments (
_AttachmentPtr pAtt;
......
pAtt->get_FileName(&name);
pAtt->get_PathName(&name);
). But that functions doesnt work properly in my opinion, could anybody help
me?

Thanks

There most likely is no full path. Once a file is attached, Outlook neither knows nor cares what the original path was.

So how dop I know, where to find the attachment on the disc. Or how to get
them (as a file?). I need to export them to database and dont want to export
attachment but just a path to it

The attachment is in the mail message. You must use the Attachment.SaveAsFile method to store it as a system file before you can do anything else with it.
