Working with embedded/attached objects

I’m absolutly desperated :frowning:

I thought that with the new release, working with embedded or attached objects will be improved, but no…

I want to create a database similar to the “Word Integration” but customized for our purposes.

First of all I have tried to change the original Word files the database use for the ones we internally use.

The size of the file I attach is 63Kb but when the application creates a new document based on this file, the file size increases up to 1Mb!

Then I have modified the template in order to use the EmbedObject method of RichTextItem instead of the CreateObject of NotesUIDocument but I have ran into several problems:

  1. When the embedded file is small it can’t be modified in-place

  2. When the embedded file is modifyable in-place the default presentation is a bitmap not an Icon (and cannot be changed via LS)

With the EmbedObject method, I have tried several combinations with no success

PLEASE!!!

Can we attach a file as we do with the “CLIP” Smarticon via LotusScript?

Will IRIS/Lotus will improve attachment manipulation one day?

NOTE: For some days Notes Release 6.0 supported attachment in-place edition but with 6.0.1 this was removed.
