OLE Object won't get focus in form/Memo field problems

[mattcdse]

Hi all,

I have added an OLE WordPad object to a form. However, when I use the form, I cannot select/give the object focus to activate it. Even if I right click the object, it give me the correct popup menu.

I am using this object as I am having troubles with Memo fields. I use a form to update records, one field of which must be greater than 255 characters long. When I press my update button (it just runs some code to turn off warnings, run two simple update queries and the turn the warnings back on) the update process seems to complete. However, if I go to the table/refresh the form contents, only the first 512 characters are displayed and the last few are strange system characters. This occurs no matter what I do. I was tole that copy/paste operations can mess memo fields up, but I tested this by using a fresh field and typing everything in. Hence I am now trying the OLE object to get around this problem.

Any ideas peeps??

Cheers,

Matt

Possible muppetry, but still problems

Hi all again,

Dumb ass here didn't see the enbled property set to no. So the OLE object now works, however...

Now each record seems to hold exactly the same data. Is it possible to have seperate opbjects for each record and how??

Cheers,

Matt
