OK, dead simple, I have a word document, I want it to appear within an access form, I thought I would be able to dump the document as a mdi or tiff file and then embed it as an image, but no it won’t do it. Any other ideas, I hadn’t planned on putting the whole live document in there but if that is going to be the easiest thing then I could do that.
Your thoughts and assistance gratefully accepted.
Rich Text Box, and use the OLE in the table but not a good idea…! The OLE size will be huge, and you will run out of space quickly!
I would do a linking to the doc, and place a description of what’s in the doc into the table.
Allow a launch from with in Access to the DOC…
Use something like this STARTDOC([FILEPATH]) ’ FilePath = table point
Public Function StartDoc(sDocName As String)
Dim Scr_hDC As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Scr_hDC = GetDesktopWindow()
' If the functon succeeds, the return value is the instance handle
' of the application that was run. If there was an error, the return
' value is less than or equal to 32.
StartDoc = ShellExecute(Scr_hDC, "Open", sDocName$, "", "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
End Function
