Hi All

I would appreciate any help

At present I have a container field that holds PDF and the script attached opens the PDF all working well

But I would like the container to hold either PDF or EML file 

How would I write the script to open either of the files in the container (not just PDF)

I have an EMLviewer installed

Many thanks

for any help

Tim

open pdf from container.pdf

You need to export the file with its original extension, so that the OS knows which application should be used to open it.

Try changing the $filePath to:

Get(TemporaryPath) & Products::File Container

It should work with files stored in the container as files. What do you see as the result of:

GetAsText ( Products::File Container )

(make sure you see the entire result - there may be more than one line).

Even better, why don't you post an example file - say 2 records, one with PDF and one with EML.
