Bring up attachment box programmatically

[Mattcornish]

Hi Guys

Is there a way to get the attachment box window to come up using VBA, I only need the standard window that is associated with the Attachment datatype when you double click the field on a form.

Any ideas gratefully recieved

Do you mean the save / open window which is displayed when opening an attachment in Outlook?

No, if u have a attachment control on a form (the little grey box with icons in denoting an attachment) when u double click it u get the window to add or remove attachments. This is the window I need.

I'll leave others to help you then as that's not somethin I've done.

However, the standard Microsoft File>Open window can be accessed fairly easily via an API if it's just the facility to browse files to add an attachment. But if the window you are talking about does more (such as managing existing attachments) then that's obviously no use to you.

I tried to do this once, but it I never figured it out.
