Through an amount of brute-force & ignorance I have solved my first problem and I can now reference all the files attached to my document and extract the file names. I can even take one of those files and attach it to my outbound email message. What I can't yet do it to is get the extractFile method to accept a variable name so that I can process it in a loop.

 

if (document1.getAttachmentList("Body").isEmpty()){

attachmentNames = "No Files Yet";

} else {

var v = document1.getAttachmentList("Body");

for (i=0; i < v.length; i++){

var eo:NotesEmbeddedObject = v.get(i);

attachmentNames = attachmentNames + eo.getName();

var att1:NotesEmbeddedObject = courseDoc.getAttachment(eo.getName());

filepath$ = "d:\\temp\\xsp\\" + attachmentNames;

 

sessionScope.put("att"+i,eo.getName());

}

}

 

Generates the error Script interpreter error, line=15, col=6: [TypeError] Exception occurred calling method NotesEmbeddedObject.extractFile(string) null

 

I've tried various ways to build the variable but no luck yet. Any clues???? 

 Solved - thank heavens for Google!!
