Example VB script for downloading file by ID

What is your primary challenge here? Identifying the document object that holds the file or downloading the file once you identified it?

My challenge is downloading the file by giving a fixed ID number. I don't think the ID number of the document will change.

After some more trial-and-error I came up with a solution:

Option Explicit

'Confirmation template ID  
Dim strDocID: strDocID = 5457442
  
'Initialize Target ObjVer
Dim oObjID: Set oObjID = CreateObject("MFilesAPI.ObjVer")
Call oObjID.SetIDs(0, strDocID, -1)
  
'Get the latest object version
Dim objFiles: Set objFiles = Vault.ObjectOperations.GetLatestObjVer(oObjID.ObjID, False, False)
Dim objFile: Set objFile = Vault.ObjectFileOperations.GetFiles(objFiles).Item(1)

'Set temp path
Dim objFSO: Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim szTempPath: szTempPath = objFSO.GetSpecialFolder(2) & "\" & "CONF.docx"

'Download order confirmation template
Vault.ObjectFileOperations.DownloadFile objFile.ID, objFile.Version, szTempPath

'Add order confirmation
Vault.ObjectFileOperations.GetFilesForModificationInEventHandler(ObjVer)
Vault.ObjectFileOperations.AddFile ObjVer, PropertyValues.SearchForProperty( 1095 ).TypedValue.DisplayValue & " Confirmation", "docx", szTempPath
Call objFSO.DeleteFile(szTempPath, true)
Vault.ObjectFileOperations.UpdateMetadataInFile ObjVer, -1, False

I was mixing up ObjectID with fileID. Adding '.Item(1)' to the getfiles line made it work.
