Outlook VBA - driving me crazy!?

[CJAI]

OK, I need to write some VBA to accomplish the following:

When a Mail item is dragged to the Task folder, any attachments in the mail message need to be copied over as well.

I have been searching the heck out of the internet and have not found any examples of this.

I've tried (unsuccessful) using the _BeforeItemPaste and _ItemAdd event handlers. It seems _BeforeItemPaste is good for getting the mail messages attachments, but does not bridge the gap to a full solution because it happens BEFORE the task is created. _ItemAddITem is good for assigning values to the task AFTER it is created however theres no way at this point to access the original mail items attachments.

Anyone done this before or seen examples?? Please help

Thanks

Anyone?

You may play with global variables populated in the _BeforeItemPaste event and retrieved in the _ItemAddITem one.

Hope This Helps, PH.
