Imports a file.

Note: This method is new with Release 5.

Defined in

NotesUIDocument

Syntax

Call notesUIDocument .Import( [ filter$ , filename$ ] )

Parameter

filter$

String. Optional. The types of file are specified as follows. You do not have to spell the name exactly as shown and case does not matter; you have to include enough characters to uniquely identify the file type. In case of ambiguity, Notes/Domino will use the first file type in the list that matches your entry.

  • ASCII Text
  • Binary with Text
  • BMP Image
  • CGM Image
  • GIF Image
  • HTML File
  • JPEG Image
  • Lotus® 1-2-3®
  • Lotus® PIC
  • Lotus® Word Pro®
  • Microsoft™ Excel
  • Microsoft™ RTF
  • Microsoft™ Word
  • Network Portable Graphic
  • PCX Image
  • TIFF 5.0 Image
  • Unsupported File as Text
  • WordPerfect
    Note: This list is subject to change. To verify the list, check "Files of type" in the "Import" dialog box.

filename$

String. Optional. The name of the file.

Usage

The focus must be in a rich text field for this method to work.

Specify no parameters or both parameters:

  • If you specify no parameters, the "Import" dialog box appears. The user selects the file type and file name.
  • Specifying the parameters bypasses the "Import" dialog box. Additional dialog may appear, for example, the query "Preserve existing line breaks in text?" in the case of ASCII Text files.
