How to save a NotesStream to a file?

I have a NotesStream loaded with binary data. Is there a way to save this into a file on hard drive? The binary data is actually a NSF. I don’t suppose the NotesStream can be converted to NotesDatabase object?

You need to use NotesStream.Open to associate a file with the stream BEFORE adding data to the stream, and no, you can’t convert the stream to a NotesDatabase object (although you can get the file as a NotesDatabase after it is written to disk).

Thank you for the response. Stan. But, the problem is that there is no file at the first place. The byte array data is downloaded from a URL. NotesStream.Write to load the binary data into NotesStream. The question is how can I save this to a file?

The file will be created on Open if it does not already exist. SO:

Set stream = session.CreateStream

Call stream.Open(“C:\Path\filename.ext”)

'Call your Write stuff here

Call stream.Close

Call stream.Truncate

At that point, the file is written to disk and the stream is cleared.
