We a complex data and document management system using VFP 9.0 Tables were we embed documents (pdf, doc, tiff, etc) in general data fields using APPEND GENERAL and then to view the document

WITH THISFORM.oleboundcontrol1
.REFRESH()
.DOVERB(-2)
ENDWITH

This worked perfectly well for 10 years with Windows XP but as the old computers died we are forced to use Window 7 (I know we are up to Windows 10 but...) and now when we call that routine we get a popup window which with a Title "Create Package" and says "type the name of the file you want to package. If you prefer to search for the file, click "Browse". There is already a file embedded in the general field that is not linked. If I cancel I get "OLE error code 0x0004081: Verb number is valid but verb cannot be done now"

Any ideas on how to deal with this?
