How to copy attachment from one sharepoint list to another ?

Question

Hi,    

 We have 2 custom lists. We have attached an SPD workflow to the first list which strats on new item creation & creates the same item in second list through CREATE LIST ITEM activity. But the only problem is... its not copying/creating the attachment. All the other fields are fine & getting created in the second list except attachment.

We also tried COPY LIST ITEM activity. Its working but there are some limitations. i.e. both the lists should have same number & name of columns.

Is there any out-of-box trick to copy attachment from one list to another ?

We are using MOSS 2007 & SPD 2007.

Thanks in advance.

You cannot copy attachments using SPD Workflow, however you could achieve this using Visual Studio workflow.

Alternatively, you could also try the following tool from CodePlex,
