RE -- POST -- Embedding Attachments through LS

I have an agent that creates an email with text and also attaches pdf’s through LS. This agent worked great when Domino resided on the AS400 (where the attachments are). The Domino server has been migrated to a Windows 2003 server and now when I run the agent, it will not embed the attachments to the email. Here is part of the code: Does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to change so that it will embed the attachment:

AttServer = result4.GetValue (“QZYJT6”)

			AttShare = Result4.GetValue ("QZYKT6")

			AttPath = result4.GetValue ("QZYLT6")

			AttFile = result4.GetValue ("QZYMT6")

			'filename = "\"+ AttPath + "\" + AttFile

			'filename  = "\\" + AttPath + "\"  + AttFile  'changed from above line for windows 2003 server

			

			filename = "\\" + AttShare + "\"  + AttPath + "\"  + AttFile

			

			Set object = rtitem.EmbedObject (Embed_Attachment, "", filename) 

			

			If ( object Is Nothing ) Then

				Messagebox( "Unable to find an object" )

				Print "Unable to find object" 

			Else

				Messagebox( "Found an object" )

				Print "able to find object" 

			End If

I have checked the permissions on the folder on the AS400 through iSeries Navigator and my id has proper access to the data. Do I need the Notes Server to have access to that folder. When I try a run command from the server and put my user name and password in, I can get to the server and then drill down but cannot put the entire path in to begin with. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might get this to work.

Cindy -

Sorry to hear you’re off the as400.

When running on windows as a service, by default Domino runs as the “LocalSystem” account, and that account likely doesn’t have access to the UNC path you are using.

Your options include changing domino to run as another user (which will make the console disappear, but otherwise works well) , changing the permissions on the share you are accessing (not always an option) and changing the method used to retrieve the file (like FTP’ing it to the local system before attaching it, or using the windows scripting host objects to retrieve the file - I like the last option).

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help/advise. I, too, am sorry that we moved from the AS400. I will pass the information on and see what is decided. Thanks again for your time.
