A posting indicated that it was possible for me to manipulate my embeded
visio application in a MS Access Table by using the bound object frame object
properites?? I could associate a form with bound object frame to the OLE
Object of my table (I have only one field that is OLE Object).

I have been activating (acOLEVerbOpen) the embeded visio drawing from my
access table. Making changes to the layers, such as make some layers in
visio visible and hiding others. I then create send the drawing over to
power point using OLE from Access VBA code.

Do I really need to activate the embeded drawing or is it possible to change
these properites and generate the power point without activating????

Second part - I some application, I also take the embed drawing and flip it
vertically and horizontally and then generate a power from it.

I really appreciate all the help I can get!!!

Thank You,

Gary

You have to activate the app...how else could you possible update the
drawing? I mean if you had a couple of hundred hours to spare you could
write to the relevant file format(s) directly but why bother? What's the
problem with activating the parent app?

Finally, there is an ActiveX control you could use to keep everything within
an Access form and not have to move back and forth between applications.
Use the new Office Document ActiveX control here:
