Solved: Open AN embedded word document in an access table

[leeweaver]

I have an embedded word document in an access table. When I double click on the field I want to open the document in a full word window. At the moment when I click in the field I can edit it but it doesn't open in a full word window.

can anyone help a newbie out here?

You first have to set its verb property and then activate it. This assumes you are using a form.


[vba]Private Sub Doc_Click()

'Where Doc is the name of your control
Doc.Verb = acOLEVerbOpen

Doc.Action = acOLEActivate

End Sub[/vba]
