Hi!
I have paths for MS-Word documents stored in a table of a MS-Access 97
database. The contents of the Word documents must be displayed on a bound
form and on a bound report in the Access 97 application.
In the form, there is an Unbound Object Frame to display the Word object. In
the Form_Current event, I dynamically put the object into the Frame like this:
Me!OLEObject.SourceDoc = strPath
Me!OLEObject.Action = acOLECreateLink
(Where OLEObject is the name of the Unbound Object Frame.)
This works fine! But using the same code for the report (in the Report_Open
event) produces following error when executing the .Action line:
"The bound or unbound object frame you tried to edit doesn't contain an OLE
object."
Other approaches, e.g. using the Format event, also failed. Any ideas how a
linked Word document can be displayed in a report?
Thank you!
