Imports a file into a Notes/Domino document or view.

Syntax

@Command( [FileImport] ; fileType ; fileName )

Parameters

fileType

Text. The kind of file you want to import. See list of file types, below.

Text. The name of the file you want to import. Must be a complete path specification, including drive, directory, and file name.

Usage

FileImport can be used at the view level, and when a document is open in Edit mode, according to what is being imported. If the document is being edited, the insertion point must be in a rich text field.

This command does not work on the Web.

The fileType must be one of those listed below. 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.
