    OLE size on report

    Hello.

    I’m using Ms Access table to store OLE Objects.

    In this OLE objects I want to store MS Word texts. For example, this record:

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	form.PNG 
Views:	11 
Size:	113.5 KB 
ID:	16073

    All is fine, but now I want to generate report, to show this Ms Word fragments. But in the report I see this:

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	report.PNG 
Views:	10 
Size:	63.2 KB 
ID:	16074



    So, how can I set field size on Access form depending to size of stored information?
    Thanks.

    I've never used OLE objects but I suspect can't programmatically control size dependent on content. Make the control big enough for the largest content which means there will be lot of white space for less content.

    Not seeing that property for OLEObject control, nor Image control.
