First of all, perhaps I can save you a few hours. It took me several hours
to figure this out. You cannot embed an OLE image on a form (and the bound
field) if the form is in datasheet mode via VBA (you can do it using
drag-and-drop). You will get an error saying the OLE class is invalid. You
will need to change the form to form view. Once the object is embedded you
may switch the form to datasheet view.
My question is regarding activation. In datasheet view if I double click on
the OLE field the object (in my case a word document) is displayed in a
separate window. In form view if you double click the OLE field the object
is displayed in an "in-place" window. My in-place window is far too small to
effectively edit. Is there a way to force OLE to open the word document in a
separate window from form view? Thanks.
