I know about the saveAs command, is there a Save command that doesn't present a dialog box?

Application.BasicFunctions.SaveAttachmentas(objRS.fields("filename"))

Thanks.

Nope. The only way to do it without the dialog is to code it all yourself. You'd need to copy the attachment to the proper location, rename it to fit SLX naming, write the entry to the attachment table, call LogSendFileAttachment (from BasicFunctions) so it syncs properly. If this is the route you want to take, there are other posts in this forum that outline the steps more completely.

Thanks, but I hope youv'e misunderstood me. I'm wanting to go the other way. Save from SLX to a directory. Then entry is already in the ATTACHMENT table.

again, thanks.

Well that is even easier. You just get the file name from the file name from the attachment table, get the attachment path from Application.BasicFunctions.GetAttachmentPath and then copy the file (sample code to copy a file below)

Dim filesys 
 
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FileExists("c:\sourcefolder\anyfile.html") Then
    filesys.CopyFile Application.BasicFunctions.GetAttachmentPath & attachmentfile, "C:\DestFolder\"
End If

Make sense?
