Hi,
I'm not sure about the OLE object not "package". Kindly explain or point me
to some links about it.
I guess, OLE object is working fine because I can open documents which I
inserted using Insert Object on the form by double-clicking on them. The
problem really is when displaying these documents inserted using Insert
Object on the form in interMedia. I did some test of inserting/importing
documents directly into the Oracle table BLOB field and they did display
fine in interMedia. But on the form, those documents which have been
inserted directly into the table are not showing in the OLE field even if I
double-click them to open, it displays a message instead:
"A problem occurred while myDatabase was communicating with the OLE server
or ActiveX Control.
Close the OLE server and restart it outside of myDatabase. Then try the
original operation again in myDatabase."
I mostly insert MS Word documents.
Thanks,
Arman
