I have a note table that I want users to be able to attach or link to a
number of different objects. Meaning they may need to attach a video or a
graphic or a document to the note. I set up the field as an OLE Object
within my table.
When I am at my home I right click and browse to the object and it inserts
it as a package. I am then able to view the object by double-clicking on it.
I then transfered a copy of the DB to my office and. . .
When I am in the Office and I browse to a jpg and click Ok. the system just
freezes. It does not matter what the obkect is quicktime, jpg, realplayer,
doc, xls, anything. Access just freezes.
I also realized I do not want to imbed the obkect in the database I want
them to be stored in a sub directory so that the DB does not get to big.
1) Why would it freeze here and not at my home?
2) Is there away to have them select the object and have access copy ot the
subdirectory and set a link in the DB to it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
