I have an access db (office 365) that's basically a list of excel files with attributes associated. I need to be able to see a snapshot of the file for each record. I've tried saving as a pdf -- but then office tells me the ole server isn't registered so pdf viewer activex control doesn't work. Tried using oleobject type in record, but can't get it to populate programmatically so it shows me the file. Tried using the attachment type, but that only shows the excel icon and doesn't show the file. Any help is greatly appreciated.
