Attachment Object
An Attachment object represents a single attached file that is physically stored in the user database.
An Attachment object:
- Stores information about that file (description, unique key, path name, and size) in the Attachment object's properties.
- Provides a means to manipulate the file.
Note: The HCL Compass API
does not permit you to alter that data inside an attached file, but
it does permit you to alter the descriptive information.
In order to:
- Attach files to a database, use the
Add
method of the Attachments Object. (You never create instances of Attachment directly.) - Retrieve an Attachment object, use the
Item
method of the Attachments object. - Delete an Attachment object, use the
Delete
method of the Attachments Object. - Copy an existing attachment to a new file, use
the
Load
method.
