One or more of the source document's attachment are missing

We are getting the “One or more of the source document’s attachment are missing. Run Fixup to delete in the source database” when creating a new copy of a database

Not all users get this message and on one of the databases, there are no attachments!!!

I assume that Notes is actually referring to a design element rather than an attachment.

How can I see which design element it is tripping up on??

Many thanks

Subject: One or more of the source document’s attachment are missing…

I recently ran into a similar problem and discovered that it had to do with embedded objects. The embedded objects that were giving me the most grief were .pdf objects.

For me, I was running an agent that searched each DB for documents with $File. Once I got that collection, I examined each document and looped through the doc.items. If an item.name = “$File”, then I checked whether item.values(0) was empty – if so, the object is an embedded object.

Obviously, you could take different approaches to this. My purpose was to find and detach file attachments, so I did not explicitly look for embedded objects.
