I raised this question long time ago, but had no answers.
Perhaps I should forward it to another newsgroup - like the ole-forum ?
Kind regards

Peter,

I found this a bit tricky, but here's what I do.

I use an OLE field in a table and display the field on the form. The .doc file is stored in the OLE field using replacefromfile(). I also have a field storing the path and name of the .doc file.

One caution, normally if they click on an OLE field it attempts to load the contents into what ever app (in this case Word) is appropriate to the contents. I had to prevent that, and instead gave them an option on the screen to edit it in word.

Hope this helps,
Rick
