Thread: Notes / History - Opening Attachments

Notes / History - Opening Attachments Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

SLX 7.2.1 / Eval database / Outlook 2003

After dropping an e-mail containing multiple attachments to the Account Notes/History tab ...

Try right-clicking and View Attachment. The View History Attachment form is displayed which allows you to select which attachment to view.

Select one and click OK. It then executes

OpenSelectedFile Application.BasicFunctions.GetAttachmentPath & grdAttach.GetCurrentField("FILENAME"), _
grdAttach.GetCurrentField("ATTACHID"), _
grdAttach.GetCurrentField("DESCRIPTION") 'DNL

Which results in an error (too many arguments). The correct code is (I think)

OpenSelectedFile Application.BasicFunctions.GetAttachmentPath & grdAttach.GetCurrentField("FILENAME"), _
grdAttach.GetCurrentField("DESCRIPTION")

Can anyone else verify? Maybe I've missed a bundle somewhere that fixes this ...

Cheers
PP

Good Info Phil,
I've got a 70/72 bundle that's FULL of this kind of "broken stuff" in OOTB forms and scripts. I'll add this one to it.

For those of you who are partners, you already know I keep an updated copy of this bundle posted in the Partners' NG. For obvious legal reasons, the bundle cannot be posted to a "public" forum.

Hehe. I know of no such "obvious legal reasons".

The original code is owned by Sage.. it's their copyright.. that's the reason.. and it's very clear in the license agreement...

It would be like publishing an SP and/or HF in an open forum.. no different. This isn't an original customization we are talking about.. it's Sage code that's been "touched" to fix an OOTB bug.

We just got this error, too.

"An error occurred executing active form script (System: View History Attachments). Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignments: ‘OpenSelectedFile’ at line 5, char 5” error when viewing Notes/History records with multiple attachments"

I looked it up on the SLX support knowledgebasee and it refers to defect ID 1-62432 and says the only resolution is to upgrade to v7.5. Well -- we can't upgrade to v7.5 because we are on Oracle 9i.

I seemed to fix it by changing the script in the "View History Attachments" form. I took out the line that concatenates the ATTACHID to the call

From:
Sub cmdOKClick(Sender)
OpenSelectedFile Application.BasicFunctions.GetAttachmentPath & grdAttach.GetCurrentField("FILENAME"), _
grdAttach.GetCurrentField("ATTACHID"), _
grdAttach.GetCurrentField("DESCRIPTION") 'DNL

End Sub

To:
Sub cmdOKClick(Sender)
OpenSelectedFile Application.BasicFunctions.GetAttachmentPath & grdAttach.GetCurrentField("FILENAME"), _
grdAttach.GetCurrentField("DESCRIPTION") 'DNL
End Sub

Hmmm - that looks curiously like the code I posted at the very top of this thread ... glad it works though.

Oops... lol

I don't know VB too well and I guess I just skimmed right over that because I didn't understand it. Then I opened up the form and started working. Probably would've saved me some time if I would've READ it better.

That's what happens when I don't get enough sleep.
