outlook form attachement view

[Jim Thweatt]

Our business uses a shared public calendar for organizing shows. Part
of this process involved attaching the various documents associated
with each show to the calendar item.

I'd like to know if I can create a form which will display the
attached files in a view which will show the complete file name and
the date.

I'd like the equivalent of the details view in windows explorer.

All clients are Outlook XP or 2003. Server is Exchange 2003.

Thanks in advance.

It's possible. You could use a list box or grid control on a custom form
page to display the attachment information in rows and columns. To get that
information, you'd need to iterate the Attachments collection with CDO or
Redemption, which expose more information about each attachment.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, you have referred to programming
issues beyond my knowledge. I believe I would need to hire someone to
develop the forms and scripts I need. Any suggestions where I could
find someone who would be interested in that kind of work.
