Hi Amy,
No, it's not possible (or rather, it's theoretically possible but
prohibitively difficult).
Instead, add a text field to your table and store the descriptions in
that.
If you need to store more than a few documents in your database you're
likely to find that the size of the MDB file bloats out of all
proportion. Often, the best approach is to store the documents as files
on the disk and just keep their names and locations in a text field in
the database. Arvin Meyer's DocMgr sample database here
http://www.datastrat.com/DataStrat2.html
shows the techniques for managing documents as external files.
Is it possible to put a descriptive text in a field
designated for OLE? For example, all my entries in the
OLE field say "Adobe Acrobat Document" and i would like to
describe each document in that space.
