SAPbobsCOM.Contacts attatchment.Count always 0

Question

Hi,
im Working with sboContacts (Activities in SBo)
I intend to handle with attachments in Activities.
Before i add a new Attatchment i have to check, if there ist already one.
The attachments.count returns 0, even though there are attachments existing.
Snippet----
     SAPbobsCOM.Contacts sboContacts;
     sboContacts = (SAPbobsCOM.Contacts) company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oContacts);
     SAPbobsCOM.Recordset aktRecs = sboEntry.getSBOCompany().getRecsetBySelect(
        "select ClgCode from oclg where cardcode = 'C1050' and docnum = 174 and doctype = 17");
     if ( aktRecs.RecordCount > 0 )
        sboContacts.Browser.Recordset = aktRecs;
          log.Debug("CardCode: " + sboContacts.CardCode + " ContactCode: " + sboContacts.ContactCode +
           " Docnum: " + sboContacts.DocNum + " DocTypeEx: " + sboContacts.DocTypeEx);
        SAPbobsCOM.Attachments aktAttachments = sboContacts.Attachments;
        log.Info("anzahl Attachments: " + aktAttachments.Count);

As a workaround it´s possible to check the attachments wich DB-Selects...

Hi,
now i solved it on this way but....
"select Attachment from oclg where cardcode = 'C1050' and docnum = 174 and doctype = 17")
this returns a list of attachments delimited by ';'
--- always add a new Attachment and add all old and new items
string [] dbAttAr = dbAttachments.Split(new Char [] {';'});
for ( int iLauf = 0; iLauf < dbAttAr.Length; iLauf++)
     aktAttachments.Add();
     aktAttachments.Item(iLauf).FileName = dbAttAr[iLauf];
if ( inNewAttachment != null )
     aktAttachments.Add();
     aktAttachments.Item(dbAttAr.Length).FileName = inNewAttachment;
A curious behavior is the following:
When i add an attachment using the GUI (Button "Durchsuchen"),
e.g. from a Path: c:/temp/file.txt this file is copied to
'.../SAP Manage/SAP Business One/Attachments/file.txt
When i add an attachment with the API the path keeps the value
"C:/temp/file.txt" and the "Anzeigen"-Button works. This effect is exactly what i need.
Is this different behavior a bug or a feature ?
