See Microsoft KB article Q101018 for one method of how to do this. Your problem is one of a myriad of reasons (memo/general field bloat, difficulty in extracting the data once imbedded, to name two) that I generally don't imbed binary documents in general fields. Instead, I'd recommend using a character field to store a path to the document, then use COM automation, RUN, or whatever method you prefer to fire up the document.
