Hi Everyone,

I'm new to developing outlook forms but not new to VBA (excel and some word).

I'm still trying to get a handle on all the different types of classifications of outlook and have been able to find the help I need to develop a custom form etc.

Everything seems to be working well but one feature I can't seem to locate info on is how to (if its even possible) to automatically pass attachments to a new form when clicking reply.

Right now I have Form1 and Form2 setup in a very simple manner so that when the user clicks reply in Form1, it opens up Form2 and passes all the field values to the form. My challenge is in passing the attachments as well...

Based on regular outlook functions, if the user clicks Forward, the attachments and info goes with it, but not the sender, cc, and bcc info. If the user clicks Reply, all the sender, cc, and bcc info is passed on but not the attachments.

Is there a way for me to pass on the attachments as well on reply?

Thanks for the help.

Between this forum and outlookcode.com I've been able to get started in this new world of Outlook forms... :)

As far as I know, you need to use a script - it will save the attachments then add them to the new form.

This is the vba code - you'd want to use script in the form so it will need to be tweaked.

CopyAttachments form1, form2

Code: 
Sub CopyAttachments(objSourceItem, objTargetItem)
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set fldTemp = fso.GetSpecialFolder(2) ' TemporaryFolder
   strPath = fldTemp.Path & "\"
   For Each objAtt In objSourceItem.Attachments
      strFile = strPath & objAtt.FileName
      objAtt.SaveAsFile strFile
      objTargetItem.Attachments.Add strFile, , , objAtt.DisplayName
      fso.DeleteFile strFile
   Next
 
   Set fldTemp = Nothing
   Set fso = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks Diane, definitely appreciate the help!

I'll start playing around with it and update if I can get it to work.
