The following applet code should assist. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Create a New Phone Message
' 
' The following example creates a new phone message without any user 
' interface. You would normally use this approach when you have all the information 
' required to create a new item, and there is no need for user interaction. 
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)
  
  Dim objPhone
  Dim objNewPhone
  Dim objRecipient
  
  ' Create a draft phone message with no user interface
  Set objPhone = GroupWise.Account.Calendar.Messages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.PHONE", fgwDraft)
  
  ' Add a single recipient - ourself  
  Set objRecipient = objPhone.Recipients.Add(GroupWise.Account.Owner.EmailAddress,,0)  
  With objPhone
    .FromText = "Formativ" 
    .Priority = fgwNormal  
    .CallerCompany = "Advansys"
    .CallerName = "Mr Smith"
    .CameToSee = TRUE
    .PhoneNumber = "555 7777"
    .PleaseCall = TRUE
    .ReturnedCall = TRUE
    .Telephoned = TRUE
    .Urgent = TRUE
    .WantsToSee = TRUE
    .WillCall = TRUE
    .Subject = "This phone message was created using Formativ"
    .BodyText.PlainText = "This is the body text"
  End With
  
  Set objNewPhone = objPhone.Send
  
  Call MsgBox ("Message Id : " & objNewPhone.MessageID, 64, "Formativ")
  
  Set objRecipient = Nothing
  Set objPhone = Nothing
  
End Sub

Unfortunately there is no way to morph the message without creating a new message, which means the time stamp will always be different and you need to process the attachment.

Instead of using the exact code in the example for the Phone message creation, you could modify it so that it creates a Posted Phone Message rather than a group phone message. You could then include the date/time stamp details of the original message in the body text of the phone message. As you pointed out, this is not ideal because a) you would still need to transfer the WAV attachment and b) the creation date of the message does not match the original.

As an aside, just for future reference, see the new AddExistingMessage command at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/gwobjapi/index.html?gwobjenu/data/h7ikbsqg.html . We have not used this call yet as it was only documented last week. In any case this new call will not solve your current requirements. It allows the creation of a new message without actually sending it (incoming, outgoing, draft, personal), although it appears that this will only work with an email message type.

That’s correct about the Clone message limitation. Sorry about the URL, I posted the one which goes to the main page. The following should be correct:

http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/gwobjapi/gwobjenu/data/huyzfn9z.html

It certainly doesn’t look like an easy one to use but I found the following basic code created a blank message in the Mailbox:

Call GroupWise.Account.MailBox.Messages.AddExistingMessage(“Joe”, “joe@bloggs.com”, “”, Date, 1, 0, 2, 0)

You’ll note that it is not a personal message and cannot be edited via the client. There are some other parameters which need to be used to point it to the content of an existing message structure, which I believe would fill in the other fields.
