How can i get field attachment details?

Hello all…

ok this is driving me nuts!

i have a form - with 5 RichText fields on it…

each RT field MAY have an attachment in it.

now, as this is being viewed on the web i need to pass the name of the attachment(s) to hidden fields - so i can then create web links from them.

i can get the field’s attachment names to be pulled accross to hidden fields BUT i cannot get them to be cleared when the document changes and an attachment is removed…

the problem seems to be i cant find a way to see if the field has an attachment… this then causes the script to fail

any ideas?..

a snippet:

Set ThisDoc = Source.Document

Set pdf = ThisDoc.GetFirstItem(“PricingAttach”)

	If ( pdf.Type = RICHTEXT ) Then

		Forall o In pdf.EmbeddedObjects

			If ( o.Type = EMBED_ATTACHMENT ) Then

				ThisDoc.bPricingAttach = o.Source				

			End If

		End Forall

	Else

		ThisDoc.bPricingAttach = ""

	End If

I’m using this method to create web links on the fly to all the files contained
in a document.

Have a table like
ATTACHMENTS


Path: &nbsp Upload
Control


Code for the Computed Value:

@If( @AttachmentNames = “”; “”;
“<OL TYPE="l">” +
@Implode( @Explode( “

  • A HREF='/” + @Subset(@DbName; -1) +
    “/OrdersSAVorderno/” + @Text( @DocumentUniqueID ) + “/$File/” +
    @AttachmentNames +
    “?OpenElement’ TARGET= '” + @AttachmentNames + “'>&nbsp” + @AttachmentNames +
    “    ” + “&nbsp&nbsp(” + @Text( @Round( @AttachmentLengths / 1000 ) ) +
    “k)&nbsp]”; “,” ); “
    ” ) +
    “” )

    thanks for that but your system is much more simple than mine :frowning:

    i need to know the names of each file and a reference - for example when just displaying certain files.

    your method can only list all the attachments…

    the problem i am having is that i can attach the files fine and on querysave i write each RT field’s attachment name to a field.

    this works ok, until someone deletes the attachment (they are optional) i cannot find a way to see if a field has an attachment.

    i need a way to read the ‘embeddedobjects’ when it is blank!

    fixed now…

    	If ( pdf.Type = RICHTEXT ) Then

		If Isarray(pdf.embeddedobjects) Then			

			Forall o In pdf.EmbeddedObjects

				If ( o.Type = EMBED_ATTACHMENT ) Then

					ThisDoc.bPricingAttach = o.Source

				End If

			End Forall

		Else

			ThisDoc.bPricingAttach = ""

		End If

	End If

    it needed to be on queryclose… as at querysave the item wasnt classed as an array yet!
