Try using this code:
Dim w As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim docA As NotesDocument
Dim rtitemA As Variant
Dim rtitemB As Variant
'new Dims
Dim rtitemC As Variant
Dim rtitemD As Variant
'extra new Dims
Dim rtitemE As Variant
Dim rtitemF As Variant
'Dim session As New NotesSession
Set uidoc = w.CurrentDocument
'Call uidoc.Refresh( True )
Set docA = uidoc.Document
'=======Naughty code===============
'Dim aaerror As Variant
'aaerror = docA.GetItemValue("Error" )
'If Cstr(aaerror(0))="Yes" Then
'Messagebox "Error with first one"
' Exit Sub
'End If
' ========End Naughty code===================
'Call uidoc.Save
docA.Documentation1_1 = ""
docA.Documentation2_1 = ""
docA.Description_1 = ""
Set rtitemA = docA.GetFirstItem( "Documentation1_1" )
Set rtitemB = docA.GetFirstItem( "Documentation1" )
If ( rtitemA.Type = RICHTEXT And _
rtitemB.Type = RICHTEXT ) Then
Call rtitemA.AddNewLine(1)
Call rtitemA.AppendRTItem( rtitemB )
docA.attachments = " "

This code will not work for web. My form is on web so it doesn’t have any rich text field but a file upload control. More over i don’t want to save Form A. Just want to transfer the upload file to document with form B

I’m sure Shweta has solved this but for latecomers trying to solve similar problems…
I have a web form with - thanks to www.the-stickman.com - multiple File Upload controls (hint: to successfully save the multiple fields, your Javascript should read the name of the control you placed on the form and re-use it for each additional control it creates). I use the same web form to create “addendums” to the original (via “&ParentUNID=”) and want the previous attachments pre-loaded whenever I create a new addendum.
Below is the core logic of the WebQueryOpen agent associated to the form.
Note:
ac_ = AgentContext
i__ = int
nd_ = NotesDocument
ni_ = NotesItem
s__ = String
v__ = Vector
(all lower-case because they’re local variables in my app)
ac_WebServer = getSession().getAgentContext();
nd_BeingOpened = ac_WebServer.getDocumentContext();
// Get the ParentUNID from the field hosting the CGI variable QUERY_STRING_DECODED
s__QueryStringDecoded = nd_BeingOpened.getItemValueString( “QUERY_STRING_DECODED” );
// Because getItemValueString(…) DOES rarely return null…
i__IndexOf = (s_QueryStringDecoded == null ? “” : s__QueryStringDecoded.toLowerCase()).indexOf( “parentunid=” ) + 11; // 11 skips past “=” if found; otherwise 11 plus -1 = 10
if( i__IndexOf >= 11 )
{ s__ParentUNID = s__QueryStringDecoded.substring( i__IndexOf, i__IndexOf + 32 );
nd_Parent = ac_WebServer.getCurrentDatabase().getDocumentByUNID( s__ParentUNID );
if( nd_Parent != null )
{ v__ParentItems = nd_Parent.getItems();
for( int i = 0; i < v__ParentItems.size(); i++ )
{ ni_Attachment = (Item) v__ParentItems.elementAt( i );
if( "$FILE".equalsIgnoreCase( ni_Attachment.getName() ) )
nd_BeingOpened.appendItemValue( "$FILE", ni_Attachment );
}
}
}
To solve Shweta’s problem, I would put similar code in a WebQuerySave agent, where I’d retrieve the desired document (instead of nd_Parent). To be sure document A doesn’t get saved, set its SaveOptions field to “0” (either in the form or the agent).

hi,
well the question is to transfer that is move or if copy
i suppose u have two rich text field on those document
where in u can copy or may do @dblookup to get the attachment from the view if there is a view made for Form A
else copy the $file see document properties in notes to get the attachment in the document, u can use copy item by searching for the EMBEDATTACH property of the document and if exist a $file then copy to the document of ur choice,
may this info can help.

My attachment on Form A doesn’t get saved. Without saving the attachment on Form A i want it to transfer to document with Form B
