Linking Word Documents
Hi,
I have five Word documents (2002) and five Access forms (2002) with these Word documents linked to. I was under the impression that if I link a Word document to an Access form when the form is opened it would show any updates I made to the Word document. It does not do this. To get the updates to show I first have to open the form in Design View, click Edit, OLE/DDE links, choose the link and click the Update Now button. The update Automatic option button is on and it's definitely linked and not embedded. I looked at the Tools, Options but couldn't find anything to change to make this happen. What am I missing? Thanks for the help. |

Thanks for the help. Why not just create hyperlinks to the Word documents? Then when you click on the hyperlink, Word will open/get focus and the document will open. or did you want to show the document (or part of it) in an OLE control? -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |
