PRB: Error 32002 Working with Attachments in MAPI Controls (186148)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 4.0
This article was previously published under Q186148 SYMPTOMS
The following error may occur when trying to send a message with multiple
attachments:
Error 32002: Unspecified Failure
However, the message sends successfully if there is only one attachment.
CAUSE
If the AttachmentPosition property is not set for each attachment, it will
default to 0. Therefore, any attachments beyond the first are overwriting
the Position data for the prior attachment and thereby invalidating all but
the last attachment added.
RESOLUTION
Designate a unique AttachmentPosition for each attachment in the message as
demonstrated in this Visual Basic code sample:
Sub Main()
'Logon & Sync
MAPISession1.SignOn
'Create Message w/Attachments then Send
With MAPIMessages1
.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID
.Compose
.MsgSubject = "OCX - Test Message"
.RecipDisplayName = "YourRecipientNameHere"
.ResolveName
'The value 2 is passed to the Space() function in the
'next line because there are two attachments to add.
'These spaces act as placeholders for the attachments.
.MsgNoteText = _
Space(2) & vbCrLf & _
"This message was sent from the MSMAPI32.OCX." & vbCrLf & _
"This message contains 2 attachments."
'Replace the AttachmentPathName values below as applicable...
.AttachmentIndex = 0
.AttachmentPosition = 0
.AttachmentPathName = ("c:\test1.txt")
.AttachmentIndex = 1
.AttachmentPosition = 1
.AttachmentPathName = ("c:\test2.txt")
.Send
End With
MAPISession1.SignOff
End Sub
MORE INFORMATION
To reproduce this issue, comment the two lines in the code sample above
that set the AttachmentPosition value for each attachment.
