PDF Files in Form

[godzilla13]

Hello all

First time poster long time viewer,

i am creating a table that stores pdf files and the data that they contain. I want to view the pdf file as like a preview that i have inserted manually on the form using a OLE object.

The form would look like so:

ID __________
TPYE __________
DATE __________

ATTACHEMENT
_______________________________________
|_______________ Pdf preveiw ___________|

How would i go about doing the pdf preview part???
can it be done??

At the moment ive just got a pdf icon that can be double clicked and opened with a pdf viewer. Which is good but the preivew would be alot better.

I am relativly inexperience in access, need a bit of help or direction, help appreciated

Hi,
I think you can use web browser on your form and veiw PDF and HTML files as well.
There was a thread describing how to do this, I am unable to find now. Have a sarch for "PDF" and "web browser" in these forums.
