Displaying .Doc file

[Denster]

This should be simple but cant get my head round it. All I want is to display some adverts created in word (ie .Doc files) on a form. I've tried a rich text box but to no avail, any other sugestions please?.

You cannot display RTF files on a VB report, you can display pictures tho.

Goto Project > Components and click on the Insertable Objects tab. In there should be a Word Document, check it and ok. Now you should be able to put the document into your form.

Managed to get a word document on the form using the suggested method from xterra. There doesnt seem to be many properties to experiment with. I can cut and paste from the original document, but it doesnt scroll when I run the application. I was expecting to be able to link to the document some way, can you do that using this method.
