This forum is great for almost any subject except for using bound OLE objects. Can anyone point me towards an example of a form that uses one to link word documents/excel spreadsheets/text files/ect to a form using a button and when you double click it will launch those objects. I have been floundering around lately trying to get this to work, but it isn't intuitive. Thanks.

Hyperlink to files on the hard drive are on the property sheet of the object...
Hmadyson,
I'd agree with Louis about using hyperlinks for the objects you're describing.
If you don't want the typical blue underline look, you can use code behind the double-click event of any object that has a double-click event. (Any event for that matter).
Look at
