This wizard allows users to select files from any location on their pc or server and save them as an OLE embedded object (stored in Long Binary format) in a Microsoft Access Database

Embedding and Publishing Documents using the Wizard

This wizard allows users to select files from any location on their pc or server and save them as an OLE embedded object (stored in Long Binary format) in a Microsoft Access Database.

Having saved the said files the user can then distribute the Access Database to other users who can publish the saved documents into a location of their choice on their pc or a server.

Users who are using the wizard in a compiled state (MDE) do not have the functionality to embed objects. This enables the administrator to distribute this wizard for publishing purposes only.

The application comes as two separate mdbs

EmbeddedObject.mdb

This is the front end of the wizard which can be distributed as an MDE file to users who will use the database to publish any documents or files stored in the documentation database.

Documentation.mdb

This Access database contains the table of embedded documents which is linked to the front end wizard. This enables the administrator of the documents and files to freely distribute the table of documents without the necessity of sending the front end repeatedly.The Documentation.mdb should be resident in the same folder as the EmbeddedObjects.mdb/mde.

Compacting the database is recommended prior to distribution.

For developers with access to the mdb version of the front end please feel free change the code to match your surroundings,, should it be necessary.
