Does anyone know how can I define a field in access to be able to paste and/or link a visio diagram.

Looking forward to hearing from the experts.

One way to do it is to Insert the ActiveX control Microsoft Web Browser on your form. Then, in the OnOpen event of your form issue this command (assume control name is ocxVisio)

ocxVisio.Navigate "\\path\YourVisoFile"

(might need an equal sign after Navigate)

Set the datatype of the field to OLEObject - this would enable you to either link to or embed the object.

Hope this helps.
