Ive got a bound OLE control on my form that stores a Microsoft Word Drawing. When the user clicks the 'add image' button they can they can either select an existing file (linked) or create a new one (embedded).

With the OLE control now storing the Microsoft Word Drawing the user should be able to double click on the picture to open it up in Word for editing. This works automatically if the user created a new drawing, but if the user chose an existing file it just lets the user edit the picture in Access (with the appropriate toolbars appearing).

Im trying to make it always open up the file in Word for editing.

Any Ideas?
