Hi JJ,
Create and embed an unbound object on a form or report:
Open a form or report in Design view (Design view: A window that shows the
design of these database objects: tables, queries, forms, reports, macros,
and data access pages. In Design view, you can create new database objects
and modify the design of existing ones.).
Click the Unbound Object Frame tool in the toolbox (toolbox: A set of
tools that is available in Design view to add controls to a form, report,
or data access page. The toolset available in page Design view is different
from the toolset available in form and report Design view.).
On the form or report, click where you want to insert the object.
In the Insert Object dialog box, click Create New if it's not already
selected, and then in the Object Type box, click the object type you want
to create.
Select the Display as Icon check box if you want the object to appear as
the icon for the application used to create the object instead of as the
object itself. Displaying an object as an icon can be helpful when an
object contains supplementary information that doesn't have to be
displayed. Displaying an object as an icon also uses significantly less
disk space.
Click OK. Microsoft Access creates an unbound object frame (unbound object
frame: A control that you place on a form or report to contain an unbound
object. An unbound object is an object, such as a picture, whose value
isn't derived from data stored in a table.).
Create the object by using the application that you chose in the Object
Type box in step 4, and then do one of the following:
If you created the object in place (in-place activation: Activation of an
OLE object's OLE server from within a field or control. For example, you
can play a waveform audio (.wav) file contained in a control by
double-clicking the control.), click the form outside the bound object
frame (bound object frame: A control on a form or report that is used to
display and manipulate OLE objects that are stored in tables.).
Note If you click Exit on the File menu, you'll quit Microsoft Access.
If the object that you created opened in a separate window, click Exit on
the File menu of that separate window. If you're prompted to update the
document, click OK.
To enable editing of the object in Form view (Form view: A window that
displays a form to show or accept data. Form view is the primary means of
adding and modifying data in tables. You can also change the design of a
form in this view.), set the Enabled property of the unbound object frame
to Yes and the Locked property to No. These properties are found on the
Data tab of the form's property sheet, which can be accessed by
double-clicking the form selector (form selector: The box where the rulers
meet, in the upper-left corner of a form in Design view. Use the box to
perform form-level operations, such as selecting the form.).
