Just a quick thank-you to Ted for his article on Automating Outlook or in fact a very important little part of it:
http://www.tedroche.com/Present/2003/OutlookAutomation.html My problem was that I needed to drag and drop email attachments from outlook onto a VFP application and save the binary data of the attachments for processing by VFP. IN the existing app everyone had to drag the attachment onto their desktop and then drag it from there onto the VFP app. Now I can list drag the Email onto the VFP app and it automatically opens the attachments and processes them automatically. Part of Ted's article set the old brain ticking as he confirmed that OLE Drag/Drop from Outlook only supports the Text data type. I was trying to get actual attachments from outlook via Drag/Drop and this just doesn't work so I had nearly given up hope. Ted's suggestion of dragging the Email and then opening up outlook and drilling down into the SelectedItem or "Selection" property via the outlook objectmodel meant that I could do it without much trouble. Thanks again Ted and if anyone wants to do the same then I'll post an example up on the Profox list.
