automatically rettrieve file attachment

[kim ireland]

Hello,
I am not sure if I am in the correct newsgroup - please pardon me if I
am incorrect - and point me to the right group. TIA.

here is my dilema..

I have a wsf script file that parses a text file and stores the data in
a database. The text file it parses will be updated on a daily basis.
This file is sent in a daily email as an attachment.

How can I retrieve this attachment automatically without any human
intervention.

I assume this is possible...

The machine on which I need this to happen is a Windows 2000 Server


Thank you,
Kim

Maybe I am looking at this from the wrong angle.
Can I automatically save the attachment from outlook itself?
..hmm

These samples show a couple of different ways to save attachments:

The newsgroup interface at Developersdex (http://www.developersdex.com) does
not automatically quote the text of the original message when you post a
reply. Please take the time to quote the original message manually so that
people reading your current response can understand what you're talking
about. Otherwise, you may not receive the answer you're looking for.
