Acrobat PDFs appear to be 'stuck' in an OLE field

[Destria]

Hi there

I've got an Access database, that somebody has given to us on CD. In it, there are several scanned documents that have been made into PDFs and stuck in an OLE field.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get at them. I can see the PDF icon in the OLE object's frame, but double-clicking on them chucks out a "Microsoft Access can't open the file containing the OLE object" error.

I know the files were added correctly, 'cause I've got an older version, and some of the same files appear to open fine. Any new files I add in this version are also openable. It's only the ones that were in there when I copied it off the CD that don't open.

Needless to say, I'm a little worried that I've lost a load of work. Does anyone have any idea as to how I might be able to get at them?

Ta!

Colin

Is it possible for you to post the db so we can look at it?

Okay. This is the file

There is no form in the Db

Nope, the table was linked to another database, which had the input forms
