Unable to save an attachment to a Campaign or a Document using API connection

As in the subject. For all other data stores (Accounts, Opportunities, Leads etc) it works perfectly. The system works by selecting the ID of the relevant data store (e.g. for Documents it's a DocumentID, Accounts is AccountID etc ... ) and then saving an Attachment with the data store ID as the Attachment parent ID.

For Campaigns the error I get back is :

insufficient access rights on cross-reference id

For Documents I get :

Parent ID: ID value of incorrect type

Any ideas what the problem might be ?

Thanks

API Key options - clarifications needed

Hi,

Is it possible to have a single API key for an organisation ?
Is it possible to disable the feature that when the username and password changes, the API key does too ?

How to work out if a "tab" will accept attachments ?

I need to be able to work out if a user has permission to attach an attachment to a tab, and also to a record, in salesforce. For example Opportunities allows attachments but Leads do not. Also perhaps certain records might have read only permissions.

What fields should I look at ? I am using the SOAP messaging API.

Thanks

Bob

What settings are needed to allow other users to login via the API ?

I have developed an API connection with Visual C++ 6. It works great for my user but when other users try to login they get access denied. What do I need to enable to allow them to log on ?

I am using the developer version of salesforce currently.

How long should create call take for a 3.7 MB attachment ?

Hi,

How long should this take ? To upload takes 20 seconds and to use the create call after base64 encoding is taking about 1 minute 30 seconds. Is this normal ?

I am using IXMLHTTPRequestPtr in Visual C++ to send the xml.

Thanks

Any alternative to base64 encoding for creating attachments ?

I have the following problem. I need to be able to create attachments in salesforce from my client app. These are mostly Word documents. Many of them have a lot of hi-res images. This means for a typical file size of 3 -4 MB even the most efficient base 64 encoders take 20 + minutes. If I upload the same file manually to salesforce it takes 20 seconds.

Is there any alternative to base64 encoding ?
