Attach via Icon

Hi all

I have an application that looks for the filename in an rtf to see that a correct extension exists. This works when using File/Attach but when the user selects the Attach smarticon, the filename is changed. Should be ‘blah.ntf’ and is changed to ‘ATTU7PWN’ but only when using the smarticon.

Client version 8.01

Does anyone know if there is a work around or is this a new feature?

Cheers

Stewart

Take a look at the following Technotes:

To best answer your question, can you tell me what the code in your icon does? Is it executing @Command( [EditInsertFileAttachment] ; file ; compress ) or LotusScript?
