You can then use the bound object frame to embed an object into each record of the table.
You can also insert objects into a table from the Datasheet View of a form, table, or
query, but the objects cannot be displayed in a view other than Form. When you switch
to Datasheet View, you??™ll see text describing the OLE class of the embedded object. For example, if you
insert a .bmp picture into an OLE object field in a table, the text Picture appears in Datasheet View.
Adding a bound OLE object
The image added in the previous section was not bound, in that it was not bounded, linked, connected
in any way, to the database. To add an embedded OLE object in a new bound object frame,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the unbound image from the previous section.
2. Select the Bound Object Frame button from the Toolbox (t).
3. Drag and size the frame, as shown in Figure 24-7.
4. Display the properties sheet.
5. Type Picture in the Control Source property of the Data tab.
This is the name of the OLE field in the tblProducts table that contains pictures of
the cars.
