I'm a newb developer in VBA and am having a few problems viewing word documents in unbound OLE objects.



Context: I currently have a table which has an associated word document for each record. So I have about 200 records and therefore have 200 word documents stored in a separate directory with the filename as 'Rec_id.doc' where Rec_id is the primary field in the table.

When I move through the records I want the unbound OLE object on the form to show the associated word document for each record. I have managed to find the VBA code to allow me to do this succesfully however have a problem in that the OLE object only shows the first X (dependent on size of OLE object) lines of the word document and doesn't allow me to scroll through or otherwise view the pages that aren't currently shown on the screen (as if it were a text box for instance).

I wondered if anyone might have any ideas as to how I might go about doing this at all?

Thanks in advance.
