No takers? I have been playing with and studying the source of ERAttachment and 
things (including ERMD2WEditAttachment) but I cannot make sense of these things 
(yet). This is a legacy application that needs to be brought over to the modern 
D2W world but the data structures and file names are a given and cannot be 
changed (and don't fit with what ERAttachment needs)

Please help me, I don't see things anymore
Thanks a lot
