Hello from an old Access programmer (1 Viewer)

[zenpuddlecoder]

Been using Access way back to version 1.0. I don't do as much as I used to, but I still have need to solve problems in Access now and then.
My latest challenge is figuring out why an OLE field that we use for drawings (excel) which used to open within the form now pops out into a new Excel window when the user goes to edit it. We just recently upgraded from Office 2010 to Microsoft 365 and that seems to make editing drawings a bit more tedious.

The back end database is SQL Server. Tables are all attached (linked) to the Access front end database.

Yes it seems its perculiar to office 365, i have checked Microsoft's website and found articles (for previous office versions)with regards to opening an excel file in access form, but none on Office 365
