I know I can do that, but using CREATEOBJECT("word.application") I can not have a "preview" of the document in my form.
I used OleBoundControl just because it was an object I can put in my form to have a "preview" of the document while I navigate in my Grid.

>You must go back to the drawingboard, and completely forget the "old" way. In stead you use automation, something like

>strtofile('yourmemofield','c:\temp\yourtempfile.doc')
>ox=createobject('word.application')
>ox.Documents.Open('c:\temp\yourtempfile.doc')
>ox.Visible= .T.
>ox.activate()
>*** Now word is open, and the user can edit and save the document
>ox.quit()
>replace yourmemofield with filetostr('c:\temp\yourtempfile.doc')

>>>If you search for general field here at UT, you can read about all the problems people have with them. One of the small problems is that the size of the field is many times bigger than the document which is stored, so you can very soon reach the 2GB limit. Another problem you is when you later want to get the data out of the table, and you don't have the associated program avaliable. Personally I call a general field a FINO (first in never out), or a WROM (Write only mery).
