You can edit an OLE
object in several ways. Normally, you can just double-click on it and launch the source application;
then you can edit the embedded OLE object. As an example, you could follow these steps to edit
the picture of the car in Windows Paint or whatever your default application is for editing bitmaps:
1. Display the form frmProductExampleStart in Form View.
2. Move to record 2 (or whichever record contains blue car) and select the picture
bound object frame of the car.
3. Double-click the picture.
The screen changes to an image-editing environment with Windows Paint, Microsoft
Photo Editor, or your default bitmap editor??™s menus and functions available. You may see
the icon on the taskbar for the product (Microsoft Photo Editor) in Figure 24-8. Choose
Maximize on the icon to edit the picture if in-place editing is not allowed in Access.
If you get the message The OLE object was changed to a picture or the
link was broken, it just means that our pictures may not be compatible with your
system.
