Calling 'Insert Object'

[Muzzy]

Hello all,

I have a bound object frame on a form for inserting maps of specific sites. I want to call the windows API to insert a picture (OLE Object) into the frame using a command button.
Any idea how I do this?

Cheers

Muzzy

Are you using Access or VB Forms? It's relatively easy in Access to set the control Picture property to the full path and filename to display the file. Since this is an Access forum I assume that would be your best option.

On a semi-related topic, do you know how to get a browse window to open so that you can select a file and have it dump that file into the OLE Object field? I can get access to open the 'Insert Object...' window, but i want to bypass that and go straight to the 'Browse' window.
