I use a form to add record for my collection of articles which contains an
OLE object to insert the PDF file of the article. I use "linked" to link the
OLE object to the PDF stored in a sub-directory under the main directory of
the whole database. The database can be moved as a whole anywhere without
losing the link.
However, new records I entered after a certain time can not be moved along
with the whole directory. When I wanted to double click to open it, it looks
for the path as it was linked at the entering time (the absolute path). But
the old records can still be opened in new directory by double click. So I
checked back in the associated table. For the "works" records, the text is
"Adobe Acrobat Document". For the "not working" records, the text is
"Package".
I didn't know what I changed at that certain time. Could anybody please give
me a clue how to fix it? I have learnt a lot from this forum and I wish I
could have help to sort this problem out this time. Thanks a lot in advance!
