Hi Ricardo,

  I am not sure what you are asking but here are some general hints and lots of code examples in this forum and communities doing things of this nature.I have put a 9.5 module that shows how to get workflow attributes there.

1. The second a workflow with attributes,attachments,comments,form etc is initiated it is available to an eventscript past that initiate.Actually if you keep a break in your script you will hit the break,but you will get a general error.Jeff Lang has written the exact mechanism of eventscripts if you care to look.You usually program by putting a eventscript when a initiator step is exited writing your code testing it thoroughly. When I wrote a eventscript as an example passing the workflow title to the forms in the workflow, just using trial and error programmed the code and once it was working I removed my testing step and put it to "When workflow is initiated".That was what the customer wanted and the tweak was needed because eventscripts cannot really do you any good until in the database or WAPI tables the workid,subworkid record has been put..There is a little "chicken and egg" situation to programming with eventscripts.
2. You have all the stuff you need in the context of your eventscript.If you wanted to look at workflow attributes look for it in that package,forms in that package and so on.Category attributes area DAPI or llapi functions that you can easily do.

It always helps other developers when they see the signature of your event script have you gotten to that point if so please post a snippet so we can see
