Everyone,

I would like to be able to view a word document in an OLE object on an access form. My goal is to have the user view the document on the top half of the screen and enter comments in a field on the bottom half.

I'm having trouble getting the OLE object to display the document. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

MikeCJ

What kind of trouble are you having? How are you loading the Word Doc into the OLE control?
What DOES happen when you try to display a Word Doc? What SHOULD happen?
