ObjectFrame.OLEType property (Access)

Use the OLEType property to determine if a control contains an OLE object, and if so, whether the object is linked or embedded. Read/write Byte.

Syntax

expression.OLEType

expression A variable that represents an ObjectFrame object.

Remarks

The OLEType property uses the following settings.

Setting	Constant	Description
Linked	acOLELinked	The control contains a linked object. All the object's data is managed by the application that created it.
Embedded	acOLEEmbedded	The control contains an embedded object. All the object's data is managed by Microsoft Access.
None	acOLENone	The control doesn't contain an OLE object.

When creating an OLE object, use the OLETypeAllowed property to determine what type of object a control can contain.

Example

The following example illustrates how to display the Insert Object dialog box and how to display an error message if the Cancel button in the Insert Object dialog box is chosen.

Sub InsertObject_Click() 
 Dim conUserCancelled As Integer 
 
 ' Error message returned when user cancels. 
 conUserCancelled = 2001 
 On Error GoTo ButtonErr 
 If OLE1.OLEType = acOLENone Then 
 ' No OLE object created. 
 ' Display Insert Object dialog box. 
 OLE1.Action = acOLEInsertObjDlg 
 End If 
 Exit Sub 
 
ButtonErr: 
 If Err = conUserCancelled Then ' Display message. 
 MsgBox "You clicked the Cancel button; " _ 
 & "no object was created." 
 End If 
 Resume Next 
End Sub
