Viewing OLE Link Paths in Datasheet View

I have created a table that contains an OLE field with links to Bookmarks in a rather large MS Word Document. When I view the table in Datasheet view, under the Link Field, I see "Microsoft Word Document" for all of the links. If I go to Edit->OLE/DDE Links->Change Source I see the full path to any link I select. Is there any way to allow the full path to be seen under the Link Field (instead of "Microsoft Word Document") in Datasheet View?

I am using Access 97, and have no problems viewing the Objects in Forms. I just wanted an easy way to see the full path to the object. I could do this in code, but figured that I would "put it out there" in case someone has done this already. Again my preference would be to view the paths in Datasheet view, but I suppose I could generate a query or report to do the same if required.

Thanks
Carlton
