Code / Description
A cool way to detach files from Notes Documents to be processed by some other Application using COM.
Usage / Example
You get e-mails from various systems in a CSV file format. You have an access database that runs reports based upon the data in the CSV file. Have these e-mails moved to a special folder to be processed. This code will open your mail file on the server, open the folder, detach all the file attachments, and then move the e-mails from the to be processed folder to the processed folder. Once the files are detached then you can call the import routine to import the data into an access table to generate your report.
