How do you link up OLE to a form?

RE: OLE

Hi Toby

Thank you for your question

To use an OLE field it is first necessary to create the field in the table which is the form's control source. You then right click on the relevant control in the form and select the insert object option on the resulting context menu.

Windows explorer will then open and you will be asked to browse for the required object.

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Closing form after a certain time period

To make a form close automatically after a certain time period, you need to assign the close function to a macro.

Save the macro and ope up the form in design view. open the Properties sheet.

In the TimerInterval property enter the length of time you want the form open for. This should be in milliseconds, so for instance if you want the form open for 5 seconds enter 5000, for an minute enter 60000.

You now need to attach your macro (to execute the Close action) to the OnTimer event property of the form.
