I have searched and search the forum looking for a solution to this and cannot seem to find one. I am copying an attachment from a Rich Text field in one form, to a Rich Text field in another. I have tried using the AppendRTItem method, I’ve tried extracting and the re-attaching, I’ve tried CopyItem and CopyItemToDocument. All work perfectly in that they copy the attachment, but they all put the attachment at the bottom of the form, instead of in the Rich Text field I’ve told it to copy it to. Does ANYONE at all, have a solution to this??

Normally you can use the EmbedObject method to re-attach the file. If something bad happens to the Rich Text item after you attach the file, then the attachment might end up at the bottom.

No the attachment seems to be fine, it’s just that it’s putting it into the $File field and not the Rich Text field I want it to put it into…

I thought all attachments were placed in $FILE items on the backend of the document. The icon that sits in the rich text field is just a link to the file in the $FILE item, if the file was attached via the UI. If the file attachment was created via backend (non-ui) code, then the rich text field would have no icon for the file, but it sounds like the file made it onto the document.
