>I noticed something strange, but cool in a way. I have a table with a general field in it that contains a linked word document. I renamed the Word document(using Windows Explorer) and the table was still able to find it. I thought, Okay, I'll move it somewhere else. Didn't phase it. Okay, I moved it and renamed it. It still found it! It wasn't until I deleted it that I finally got an error that it couldn't find the Word Doc. Is this natural? Where is the reference being kept and how does the VFP table know that the document was moved or renamed? In the registry somewhere? Is this machine specific? I'm running Win98SE and VFP6.0 both with all service packs installed.
It doesn't care - it extracts the OLE embedded document and passes it to Word (or whatever) and then, if told to, replaces it in the General field.
