7 Enter text or an expression that evaluates to a string in the Client Name
Expression box.
The server might use this expression in the title of the window in the OLE

in the report.
Use an expression to make sure the name is unique
To make sure the name is unique, you should use an expression. For
example, you might enter the following expression to identify a document
(where
id is the integer key column):
"Document " + String(id)

The following screenshot shows what a completed Definition page for a Blob

Making the blob
column visible
If the blob column is invisible in the report until you activate the OLE server,
you can make it easy to find the blob column by adding a border to the object.
Previewing an OLE
column
Before using the report in an application, you should preview it in the Preview
view or in preview mode to see how it works.
