setting a bound object to an icon

J

judith

I have a OLE field set to a word document and have set up
a button on the form with a VBA routine to link the user
out to select a file. It all works fine except that the
new file linked then flips my control to show the content
instead of the icon. I use

Me![worddoc2].SourceDoc = fileName
Me![worddoc2].Action = acOLECreateLink
and then tried to add
Me![worddoc2].DisplayType = acOLEDisplayIcon
but this just says that the property is read only and
can't be modified. The control now appears to be stuck on
Content.

Any ideas please
