Convert OLE linked object to embedded

J

-Jeff-

Question:
I have a field that is an OLEObject. It is currently linked to a file, I
would like to change it so that the file is embedded. How can I do this?

Background:
I have a replicated DB that contains links to pdf reports and visio
diagrams. I used OLE linked objects so that the diagrams could be displayed
on forms in the database. The linked files are located on local drives not
always connected to the network and synchronized by briefcase. Briefcase
hasn't worked out so well, so now I want to convert the linked objects to
embedded objects. As embedded objects the synchronization can all be handled
by replication manager and we can get away from briefcase.
