I have written the code like this

dim ws as new notesuiworkspace

dim uidoc as notesuidpcument

dim rtitem as varient

Dim object As NotesEmbeddedObject

rtitem = Cstr(doc.GetFirstItem(“LongDescription”))

	If rtitem.Type= RichText Then

		Set object = rtitem.EmbeddedObject ( EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", "filepath$")

	End If

but i got the error varient doesnot contain object

Where is “doc” declared"?

What is a notesuidpcument?

What is a varient?

if you switch on the LotusScript debugger, it will tell you which line you are getting the error on. You can then work out what has not been set

And why, oh why, would anyone cast a NotesItem to a String?

Option Declare is your friend! Don’t feer the Option.

You should check to see if “LongDesciption” exist.

if doc.HasItem(“LongDescription”) then

rtitem = Cstr(doc.GetFirstItem("LongDescription"))

	If rtitem.Type= RichText Then

…

	End if

End if

Isn’t rtitem always going to be a String? Given the “CStr()” function call. Therefore the check of the Type seems out of place.
