>Ok, here is my issue I'm working with Max Frame and have developed a form with the standard save, cancel, previous, next, add, delete, and ok buttons. I've also used an OLE bound control linked to a general field in a table. On the add and edit function I append general as class word.doc and refresh the ole control so that I can use word as an editor in the control to modify text and cut and past images.

Clicking Once appears to take the focus away from the Ole object "it greys out and you cannot edit anymore"(but doesn't really because code in the Lostfocus doesn't run)"by the way the same behavior occures when clicking anywhere on the form once as well" and the second time to actually get the code in the save or cancel buttons to run. It is not a very smooth operation and leaves the user hanging and guessing as to whether the save or cancel actually has performed its desired operation.

-FWIW do not use a general field. If you have to keep file in table use a memo binary field instead.
-Keeping it external -just fullpath in VFP- (or internal as a memo binary copied on to disk temporarily for editing) use a web browser control to show it on form (if you must show on form) but do not enable editing directly on form.
-Have a button to edit it that creates word.application object. Edit in word's own window.
-Assuming it's VFP7 and later you could use eventhandler to control save and get edited version into table (this part would be no problem if it was external).
IMHO having it in general field is asking for trouble and trying to do in place editing is another.
