Question

I am working on Lotus Notes and I have a document that contains multiple files attached to it. Every attached file has a $File field in back end. I need to have attributes of $File field. Please let me know how can I get attributes of $File field of lotus notes document?

Answer 1

You can get that information using the NotesEmbeddedObject class. Here’s an example from the docs:

Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim view As NotesView
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set db = New NotesDatabase( "SanFrancisco", "hill.nsf" )
Set view = db.GetView( "All Documents" )
Set doc = view.GetLastDocument
Forall o In doc.EmbeddedObjects
 Messagebox( o.Name )
End Forall

The NotesEmbeddedObject class has properties you can use or you could presumably extract the file and access it from the file system to get more information.
