Adding an OLE object to a report
To add an OLE object to a report, you begin by specifying where you want the
OLE object and opening the Insert Object dialog box so you can define the
OLE object.
Adding an ActiveX control
Adding an ActiveX control to a report is similar to adding an OLE object. Both
exist within the report with other controls, such as columns, computed fields,
and text controls. Use the following procedure whether you want to add an
OLE object or an ActiveX control to an existing report.
❖ To place an OLE object in a report:
1 Open the report that will contain the OLE object.
2 Select Insert>Control>OLE Object from the menu bar, or from the toolbar,
click the Object drop-down arrow and select the OLE button (not OLE
Database Blob).
3 Click where you want to place the OLE object.
InfoMaker displays the Insert Object dialog box.
To use the Insert Object dialog box, see “Defining the OLE object” on
page 490.
