Is there away in getting the path and name before the file is actually
attached?

I am using Outlook 2003.

That's perfectly normal if the attachment is contained in the item. There
is
no external path in that case. The PathName will always be blank unless
the
attachment is actually a shortcut to an external path.

If you need to make the attachment available to another component, call
its
SaveAsFile method to save it to a local or network folder.

Hello,

I need the location of where the attach file is located because I need
to
pass the path and name to another component which will read the file
and
then
send it to SharePoint.

Any idea?

Thanks,
