I have already gone through water's OutlookEx UDF but it does not contain any help for the functionality which i have mentioned above.

_OL_ItemAttachmentGet(). look at element 2 of the return array:

Return Value

Success: two-dimensional one based array with the following information:
    0 - Object to the attachment
    1 - DisplayName: String representing the name, which does not need to be the actual file name, displayed below the icon representing the embedded attachment
    2 - FileName: String representing the file name of the attachment
    3 - PathName: String representing the full path to the linked attached file
    4 - Position: Integer indicating the position of the attachment within the body of the item
    5 - Size: Integer indicating the size (in bytes) of the attachment
    6 - Type: OlAttachmentType constant indicating the type of the specified object

thanks,

I red that code but that code is not clear to me.

is there some other easy way that,

if we can open the mail ,

then click on the attachment,

and then we can read the attached file name

so if manual is your way, how about create Outlook macro like this:

http://superuser.com/questions/288083/macro-to-download-selected-messages-attachments-problem-about-downloaded-files

this is used to save attachments of selected messages, but it can be easily modified to just get the name.

although this is no longer AutoIt-specific, but Outlook-specific task, and if you are anyway clicking in Outlook, it's easier to use macro.

Hi orbs,

The code available on link provided by you can not do what i want.

i,m sorry to say that even if i try to modify that ,there is nothing which i can use to get the attached file name.

i am stuck what to do.
