Saving a Word Document in Access 97 Using Visual Basic

[nazzaro]

I am trying to store Word Document Objects into Access 97 ole object fields using Visual Basic.

If I try to store the document object in the appropriate field in the normal way, such as:

rcsDoc.AddNew
rcsDoc("Document&quot = msWord 'where msWord is a Word
document object
rcsDoc.Update

Something gets stored, identified as "Long Binary Object" rather than "Microsoft Word Document" (as is the case if 'inserted' using Access) and is inaccessible (won't open when double-clicked from Access).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
