Subject: @attachment not returning correct value with OLE

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes Client

Technical Area: User Interface

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.2

Reproducible: Always

Hi,

In a notes database, I need to display in a view column the number of file attached to every document.

Dead easy, I then use the @attachments column formula. It worked fine for all documents until I create an OLE object in the form.

At that point, instead of returning the correct number of files attached (1 or 2 or ...) the value displayed is 10,12, ... which turns out to be the number of $file items as shown in document properties box.

I am really not interested in how many $file items there are, but I do need to get the actual number of attached files. According to me that's definitely a bug. Has anyone encountered theis problem and did any of you managed to solve it?

Thanks for your help.
