Is is possible to embed files to extract?

[homer2002]

As the subject says.

Can I embed a file into an access form (or whatever)
so that I can extract it at some other point.

For example could I have a button that extracts a zip file
that was embedded into an access table or form or something??

So are you going to enlighten the world?

ok, - Havn't actually done this before, but i know its possible




First, Do you realy need to embedded the file? Can you get away with storing the path to the file on disk? - This method i know.

Second Have a look at the OLE object, This could be the answer to all your needs.

If you cant use the the above method things start getting complicated..........


For more input you shall have to w8 till tomorrow im off home now.

Good luck
