You need to save the current record if new before you can get the ID

 

for example:

 

Account a {get;set;}

 

//constructor

public void thePage(ApexPages.StandardController c){

 

      a = (Account)c.getRecord();

 

}

 

public void saveDoc(){

 

  if(a.id == Null)

         insert a;

 

  //do doc save stuff using a.id as parentid

 

}

Take a stab at it.... I gave you the parts to put it in, you just need to translate the places they go in your controller

1) In Order to insert attachment, you first neet to insert its Parent Record,

 

For example,

 

If you are looking to insert attachment record for Account object then you will have to first insert Account record. The Id of Account record act as a parentId at the time of inserting attachment.

 

Attachment a = new Attachment(parentId = accid, name=myfile.name, body = myfile.body);

ParentId will be inserted AccountId.

 

2) When you create new attachment for any Account record, then you should pass the Id of that Account. So that this Id will be used as parentId for your attachment.

 

Hope this helps :)

 

Thanks,

Devendra
