Open OLE Object

[Martin]

Hello,

I have a table with just one column which is an OLE object (an image).

I have a button on a form and I want to programatically open the OLE object
from the button.

Does anyone know how I would go about doing that?

Many thanks in advance...

Martin

Hello Martin,

You''l have to clarify what you mean by "open" the image. If by "open"
you men view it:

1. For Access 2003 and before, it's clear / only one way what to do
......don't use OLE, store the image in a seperate fiel, store the picture
path and file name in text field(s) and use coder to display it in forms and
reports.

2. For Access 2007, #1 will certainly work. But I don't know if that
would be the only way in 2007.
