Related to my last question...
We attach scanned images to many of our SAP documents via a script. We know the path name and the filename of the attachment, but we still have to manually find the document in a browse window and confirm it. Is it possible to have the script attach the scanned image to a given SAP document directly in the script with no user interaction?
Also, is it possible to download all the attachments from a given SAP document to our file server without user interaction?
We are using VBA scripting in Excel for these scripts.
Thanks,
Tyler

Hello everyone, I found several and different ways for attach a file using VBA, I looked it for inside sap and also in gpt, in all of them I get stuck in this line:
session.FindById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell").SelectContextMenuItem "PCATTA_CREA"
And this error message:
Runtime error 619 has occurred:
The Control could not be found by id.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi I am trying this code as per my requirement which is attaching the doc to material number.
but it is not working .Please help
The Material has been successfully read from the input file but not attaching the document.
When the main file runs it goes to the import screen and wait for the file to be selected manually.
But if we select then it throws error

Hi Tyler - we used the following method to upload attachments to work orders in the past.
Step 1: create a text file that contains 2 columns: Order number and Document filename
Step 2: use the script below to read this file line by line and get the filename and order number. Uses the order change transaction, goes to the screen where you click append attachment
Step 3: spawns another vbs script from this one to paste the filename and clicks OPEN
Step 4: saves the order and continues with the nex order- filename set...
This works well but there are a few moving parts: Main vbs, Input file, Upload vbs.
I attached all these as samples.. you can tweak and adjust as needed. There might be better ways but this works for us.(thanks to Scriptman's idea for this approach)

data file is something like this (single space between order number and attachment filename) - OrderScanNM.txt file:

etc. etc....
Good luck
