Is it possible to extract OLE objects in a Richtext field and save to files by Notes CAPI++ or LotusScript?

Thanks,

Subject: Yes - but sometimes with limitations …

… and it’s not easy! Lotus Notes stores the OLE objects as structured storage files, and you can access them via standard Notes C API. As always with OLE objects; if you don’t have the OLE server installed (the application which created the document in the first place), you might run into problems extracting the OLE document, unless it is consistent to the OLE document standards.

My product, List Fields, extract OLE objects to some extent. Give it a try!
