    Hi, I am developing application using outlook 2007 object model.I have one message which has 138 attachments. Amongs them I can save 122 Attachments physically, but 16 attachments can't save. All 138 attachments have file extension ".gif". I get an error like this "Cannot save the attachment. Cannot create file: clr.gif. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder." Can any one tell me what is the actual problem?. I only want to know why this error comes only for few messages. Thanks, Pavan

      If it is suggesting you change the permissions, that implies that access is denied. So, does the context that you are saving the files under have sufficient permissions to write to the location(s) you are saving the files? If those 18 are being written to a different location, this is a likely cause. Could any files already exist in that location? Files with the same names as the ones you are trying to save, that are either differently permissioned or are set as read-only? Do those 18 files have the same names as others that are attached? Outlook will let you attach identical files multiple times, but you will not be able to save those files to the same location without needing to overwrite existing files.

        All 138 files are stored at same location. These files have same names in message but I am saving all those files with different names.
