Hi,
I have a database in Access 2007 with an OLEObject column containing a zip files. All I'm trying to do is open the zip file so the content can be viewed.
I have created a form which shows the object, I can see the icon, when double clicked the file opens and the object becomes greyed out (crosshatched) - all good so far, the problem comes when trying to close the zip file, I can close the file window in Vista, but the object remains greyed out, the only way to close the object and be able to select another object, record, button, anything, is to close the form and open it again (which is possible without any errors).
The same behaviour is visible when opening the zip file from within the table.
Any ideas???
Many thanks
Ben.
