Print files stored in OLE fields

[brad_louky]

Is there a simple way to print files stored in an OLE field using the
Windows associated programs? So if it is a .doc, it will open Word,
print it and close. PDF opens Acrobat Reader, prints and closes, etc.

It would be just like right clicking on a file in Windows Explorer &
hitting Print. I just need to do it on files stored in an OLE field.
My goal is to hit one button, have an Access report print and then
print the attachments associated with that record.

Is it possible?

As far as I know double-clicking an OLE file will open it in its associated
program. You will then have to click print in that program. All OLE objects
are not printable anyway.

True that not all files are printable but in this application, they
will be. I know that you can open the files & print them. My goal
here is to do that through the application. The more that I research
it, the more that I think it is not possible
