Obtain the full path of the attached file.

Question

I am writting add-in for Outlook 2007.
When I am subscribed to ItemEvents_10_Event.BeforeAttachmentWriteToTempFile Event, and the event handler is being executed, the attachment object (Attachment) is passed as param. With Attachment.FileName i can take the name of the attached file. Attachment.FullPath must return the full path of the attached file, but it is empty.
Does anubody knows how to take the full path of the attached file.

Thanks in advance

Hello Rimidalv,

I also have a test in my said, PathName property of an attachment returns null. As Sue said in this link, as soon as a file is attached to a mail, it is nothing to do with the original file. So PathName property of an attachment is null.

Best regards,
Bessie
