You might try at MAPI list (CDO) http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/mapi-l.html -----Original Message----- From: Rick Crawford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 8:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Downloading attachment using CDO causes MAPI_E_NOT_INITIALIZED(80040605) Hello everyone, I have an email app that allows a user to download attachments. I am running into a problem that after the attachment completes a download, the CDOSession object throws a [MAPI_E_NOT_INITIALIZED(80040605)]] error. Eventually the CDOSession will come back to life and allow me to access components again. Anyone have simular experiences? Machine has CDO 1.21, CDOSession is created, but it will not let me do anything for the user. Strange thing is I can logoff and login as another user and get functionality back. But, when I try to log back in as the user that downloaded the attachment, I still get the [MAPI_E_NOT_INITIALIZED(80040605)]] error. Even stranger is the fact that the user eventually comes back to life... -rick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Here is the code that performs the download: Sub DownloadAttachment(ByVal strPath, ByVal strFileName) 'Get files to download to user's computer Dim oActiveFile Set oActiveFile = Server.CreateObject("ActiveFile.File") oActiveFile.Name = strPath & "\" & strFileName Response.Clear Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" & strFileName oActiveFile.Download "application/octet-stream",,false,true 'Clear Memory set oActiveFile = nothing End Sub Dim strMessageId Dim lngAttachmentID 'Get Message and attachment ID strMessageId = cstr(Request.QueryString("ID")) lngAttachmentID = clng(Request.QueryString("Item")) 'We do not want to cache files if the temp directory doesn't exist if Application("strAttachments") then 'Create the temp directory Dim strPath strPath = GetDirectory(strExchangeServer, strMailbox, lngRandomNumber) 'Get the message that has the attachments Try() Dim oMessage set oMessage = Session("CDOSession").GetMessage(strMessageId) 'Get the attachments for the message Dim oAttachments set oAttachments = oMessage.Attachments 'Get the attachment Dim oAttachment set oAttachment = oAttachments.Item(lngAttachmentID) dim strFileName strFileName = oAttachment.Name 'Write the attachment to the cache oAttachment.WriteToFile(strPath & "\" & strFileName) if CatchAll then ReportError oLocal.GetString(414) 'Unable to download attachment. end if 'Change add one more parameter for strTempID call DownloadAttachment(strPath, strFileName) 'cleanup and delete the temp folder dim oFileSystemObject set oFileSystemObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") call oFileSystemObject.DeleteFolder(Application("strCachingDirectory") & "\" & strExchangeName & "\" & strMailbox, true) Set oFileSystemObject = nothing end if _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
