I have a field that is bound to an OLE datatype field which I want to
drag and drop Word docs onto (Access 2000 & Word 2000, Windows 2000) I
want the Word icon to appear in the field, to be opened for editing when
I double click it. But for some reason on this machine, when I drag and
drop a word doc onto the field, no icon appears. If I double click the
field it seems to want to open in the field, which is tiny. I want it to
open separately in Word. Access changes the DisplayType property to
Content. If I try to change it to Icon, it says it's read only. I have
other records on the same form, same field, that show a Word icon, and
that open Word in a window when double clicked. I can't figure out what
is driving this unwanted behavior. Seem extremely arbitrary. I've tries
setting the DisplayType property to Icon in code but it has no effect.
