OLE with ADO

[Forest Dragon]

Hello!!!

I want to build a form with an ADO data control and an OLE object which displays the appropriate data field from the database that the ADO data control connects to.

The problem is that I cannot set the datasource property of the OLE object to the ADO data control, because this property accepts only DAO and RDO data controls.

I thought about building an ActiveX which would answer this problem, but I first wanted to know if you have any idea.

Thanks!!!

What is it that you want to show from the database, Dragon?

I would like to display anything that can be linked or embedded to an OLE object, especially office documents (Word, Excel) and pictures in various formats.
