Hi there
I'm having a very strange problem with an OLE field in an Access
database (the version is 2003). The field in question contains a
mixture of embedded and
linked PowerPoint presentations. The embedded presentations work just
as you'd expect - I can right click on a field in the table and choose
edit, which will open the presentation in PowerPoint. However some of
the
linked fields throw an error:
'..can't open the file containing the OLE object'.
However, what's confusing me is I can right click, copy that field and
paste into a Powerpoint document. Any ideas what can be causing this?
The problem means we're having problems extracting the items from the
fields programatically.
Thanks
