Display office documents on a form 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

How do you guys display office documents in a form? (DOC / XLS / MSG)

I am using an OLE unbound frame but it is nasty, really nasty, and so wondered what others do to achieve this?

I can't draw a word / office object on the form as I don't reference the office library to ensure late binding version compatibility.

How do you provide document management and document previews in your application?

Thanks,

3rd party controls ... (e.g. oracles Viewer Technology 8.5.3, available for developers for free here:

Others are available, and I'm not specifically recomending this one over them.

So nothing native to Access. Oh what joy.

Thanks Mike, appreciated.
