CODE
 

Hi,

I'm writing some code for a task form to save a file to a particular place
on the server.

But, I'm thinking about saving the file instead to a folder on the exchange
server:

outlook:\\Public Folders\All Public Folders\Customer Files\

I tried it and it said the address is invalid. Is it possible to save a
file like this? I know I can and drop the file into the folder and it
works.

Thanks for your help,
Joel

No, you must use proper Outlook techniques to create a new item in the desired folder and attach the file. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=712 for a code sample.
