    Drag and drop a image file in a OLE object in a way that the object become linked and not embedded.

    Are there any way that I can drag and drop a image file in a OLE object in a way that the object become linked and not embedded in the database file?





    I know about the option of right clicking-> insert object -> create from file-> activate the link option-> Find where the file is and add it.
    It's the way that I'm doing now.

    But the problem is that I'm adding the images in the form view, and in each form I have to add 6 images that are in different folders, so I have to search where the file is located for every single time that I add one image, it is very time consuming compared of having six folders open on the side and simply drag them to the form. It takes me 10 to 20 times more.

    EDIT: I'm using Access 2010

    So you want to drag and drop files into the form and have the object be linked instead of embedded? Sounds like fun. Ill check it out in a moment. Do you have code to link the objects? Can you post your db in a link?

    I'm sorry I don't understand the question.
    Do you want me to put a jpeg of the form.
    If you want a link of the content of the db, unfortunately i cannot give that information.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
