If you drag a pdf or doc file into your inbox then it shows up as an item in your inbox. Is there a way to save that item to the local hard drive? I am not sure what object to cast that item to, since it obviously is not an Outlook.MailItem. I tried to cast it to Outlook.Attachment but that did not work.

Thanks,
Son

Hi Sergey,

It isn't inside a mail item, it is just a file that is has been dragged from your desktop into the inbox and shows up in your inbox as a PDF or Word Document depending on what you dragged in...

So if you drag a word document into your outlook inbox you will see what I mean. How do I access that item?

Thanks!

Sorry, if you drag a document or pdf into your inbox it generates an e-mail with that as an attachment.

Please drag the document or pdf into a sub folder under Inbox and you will see what I am referring to.

Thank you,
Son

Hi Son.

Please try to cast it to the Outlook._DocumentItem interface.
