Inserting OLE Objects in a Form
Designing a Form - 173
This is useful if you do not want the linked object to reflect all
changes made to the source file.
4 Select a link and click a button to perform a linking procedure:
• Click
Update Now
to update the selected link to reflect any
changes made to its source file.
• Click
Open Source
to launch the selected link in its source
application.
• Click
Change Source
to change the source file to which the
object is linked.
The Change Source dialog box appears.
Select a new source file for the object and a file type in the
Files
of Type
drop-down list.
Item Name
is assigned automatically by
the server application, if one exists.
Click
OK
to return to the Links dialog box. You can use the
Convert...
command to assign a new name to the object after its
source has changed. See “Convert...” on page 174 for
information.
• Click
Break Link
to permanently unlink an object from its
source file and convert it to a static OLE object.
An object converted to a static OLE object cannot be edited, opened,
reconverted, or played.

after you complete a linking
procedure.
