How can I create a Mail with an Documentreferende attached.
When I use the Folders.messages function it retrieves only the mails not the Documentreferences

I use the following code

Set newdoc = lib.Documents.AddEx(“c:ftpform.xls”, , Folder_Best)

Set Folder_Best = acc.AllFolders.ItemByName
For Each Message In Folder_Best.Messages
If Message.ClassName
= “GW.MESSAGE.DOCUMENTREFERENCE” Then
‘Vergleiche Nummer
End If
Next

Thank you for your question above. A Document object (i.e. a document added to a library) and a document reference are two distinct objects. Given a document object, you need to create a document reference and associate with with the document object. Once you have created a document reference, you can attach it to a message as you would any other message object.

Assuming you add a document to a library and obtain a reference to the Document object like this:
```
set oDocument = iDocumentLibrary.Documents.Add(iAttachment, oDocumentType)
```
You then need to create a DocumentReference object in some folder and associate it with the document like this:
```
docref = GroupWise.Account.DocumentsFolder.Messages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.DOCUMENTREFERENCE", oDocument, fgwCurrent)
```
‘docref’ now refers to the DocumentReference object (in this case stored in the users Documents folder). You could then add this as an attachment to a message.

I hope this helps.

Hi Advansys team

Your solution work fine since GW 7.0.3

I Try to switch to GW 8.0.0 => Bug

Here is my code

path = “C:somefile.txt”
set DocNew = MyLibrary.documents.Add(Path,”Document”)

Set MailObjRef = MyAccount.DocumentsFolder.Messages.Add(“GW.MESSAGE.DOCUMENTREFERENCE”, DocNew, 1)

Any idea or Novell reporting ?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for reporting this problem.

>I Try to switch to GW 8.0.0 => Bug

Do you get an error message with GroupWise 8.0.0? If so, what is the message text?

We recommend using the latest update to any major version of GroupWise. For version 8.0 the latest update is 8.0.1, January 8 2010.

Sorry for French -> English translation of the mesage error

>>
Messages.Object
Unknown error line …
>>

I’d tested in these environnements

GW 7.0.3 + Fv 2.0.1 = OK

GW 8.0.0 + Fv 2.0.1 = Error
GW 8.0.1 + Fv 2.0.1 = Error
GW 8.0.1 + Fv 2.0.2 Beta1 = Error

Any idea ?

A clue

The groupwise API documentation note another syntax whithout notice the classe name, assume that Document reference is used

Set MailObjRef = MyAccount.DocumentsFolder.Messages.Add(“GW.MESSAGE.DOCUMENTREFERENCE”, DocNew, 1)
could be
Set MailObjRef = MyAccount.DocumentsFolder.Messages.Add(DocNew)

but in this case we have the error “Class does not support Automation”

Perhaps, Novell has changed the object or the methods to create it
no problem, but now .. how to create a document reference ??

Looks like Messages.Add() method not working when you provide “GW.MESSAGE.DOCUMENTREFERENCE” as class name.

Good to see your post in Novell Object API forum. Keep us update, if you find any resolution to the post.

Novell docs says “If ClassName is omitted, a document reference (GW.MESSAGE.DOCUMENTREFERENCE) is assumed.”. Based on it, following code should work where class name not provided.
```
  
Set MailObjRef = MyAccount.DocumentsFolder.Messages.Add("", DocNew, fgwCurrent)
```
Hope this helps.

Sorry,

No error whith this syntax but … not working

if you place after : Set MailObjRef = MyAccount.DocumentsFolder.Messages.Add(“”, DocNew, fgwCurrent)

msgbox “MailObjRef : ” & MailObjRef.Classname

In GW7 => MailObjRef.Classname = GW.MESSAGE.DOCUMENTREFERENCE
and you can attached MailObjRef in a message

In GW8 => MailObjRef.Classname = GW.MESSAGE.MAIL
and you can’t attached MailObjRef in a message

Could you tell it to Novell to help us
I was pleasd to see Novell working on libraries (Speeder Query, Document conversion) but i need this fonction working to switch to GW8, or the new syntax

Thanks for your help

As Preston Stephenson stated in your Novell forum post that Novell will investigate the issue.

We will wait to see the results of the investigation.
