I have an Access table with the following fields:



                 Name        string

                 ID Number  string

                 WordText  (OLE MS/ Word Document)



                 I dictate in WORD using Dragon systems. Using a form in MS Word I need to be able 

                 to be able to create a new OLE 

                 MS Word object for each new record, AND open the existing OLE field, 

                 correct data then save it.



                 Using recordset commands I have made a list box which will show the 

                 records I need to deal with, pick the record and do what I need to do with 

                 everything but an OLE field. I can make it work to some degree with a 

                 plain <memo> field, but I can't figure out how to open and manipulate the 

                 OLE/MS Word object. when I try it with an embedded OLE Word document, I just 

                 get a bunch of control chartacters - it just sees it as a text file, not as a WORD file.



                 Has anyone crossed this bridge before?



                 Thanks
