Here is one link (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=12941&highlight=outlook) which may answer your question. You can search on Outlook for this forum to see other topics.

I mis-read you original post - sorry. I thought you were trying to get a file from Unix attached to an email. Sorry for the confusion.

There are three ways that I have used to get a file from the client - client2server, ftp, rsh commands. I use client2server for most of my baan coding and ftp for some other files. I no longer have software that allows me to rcp from PC to the server. Unix group thought this was too much of a security risk. Another method is pc nfs - never used it, but it allows you to remote mount a Unix directory onto the client. Then all you have to do is save the file on that directory.

I do not know of a way to automatically get a file from outlook or put a file from outlook to the Unix server. I suppose there are macros you could write for outlook, but I am not sure. We do not use outlook.

If pop3 is enabled in ur exchange server then u can use Java to fetch the attachment directly from the server and ftp it to the Baan machine
