SYMPTOMS
In the following scenario, duplicate attachments may be created:
- A user (for this example, User A) uses Microsoft Outlook to send a recurring meeting request to another user (for this example, User B) with an attachment (attachment 1).
- User B uses Outlook to accept this meeting.
- User A uses Outlook to edit an occurrence of the meeting, and replaces attachment 1 with another attachment (attachment 2).
- User A uses Outlook to send an updated meeting request to User B.
- Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) code is run against User B's Inbox. The Inbox receives the meeting request, calls GetAssociatedAppointment(), and then calls Update() on the appointment.
- When user B opens the User B Calendar in Outlook, all of the occurrences of the appointment contain both attachments.
In the fifth step in the preceding scenario, if User B uses Outlook to open the Inbox and accept the updated meeting request instead of Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) code running against User B's Inbox, the one edited occurrence contains attachment 2 only, and the other occurrences contain attachment 1 only. CDO should work the same way.
