Hi Nicolas,

1. What version and build number of Add-in Express do you use?
2. What Outlook version do you use?
3. Did you save a mail item before?

Hi Eugene,

1. Add-in Express 2009 for Office and .NET, Standard package, Release 2009.5.1.2022.
2. I have to develop for Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2008.
3. The mailItem is saved in the event "ItemSend"

MailItem mailItem = item as Outlook.MailItem;
mailItem.Save();

Attachment attachment = attachments.Item(1);
String pathName = attachment.PathName;

okay way to do this?, I'm using Outlook 2003 for testing.
Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

Please try using the http://www.add-in-express.com/products/mapi-store-events.php component.

BTW Can you tell me the value of the Type property?

Hi Nicolas,

I have just tested the issue you described above and got the same results. It looks like there is no anything strange in the empty PathName property. I suppose that you need to use the FileName property of the Attachment class.
