ReferencedOLEFileDescriptors.Add

[cwasniak]

If I use the function ReferencedOLEFileDescriptors.Add with the option of embedding a file I get an "Invalid Procedure" call error.
It works fine if I link the file.
Any ideas?

This works:

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim xtt As ReferencedOLEFileDescriptor
Set xtt = oDrawDoc.ReferencedOLEFileDescriptors.Add("1.doc")
Unload Me

This does NOT:
Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim xtt As ReferencedOLEFileDescriptor
Set xtt = oDrawDoc.ReferencedOLEFileDescriptors.Add("1.doc", kOLEDocumentEmbeddingObject)
Unload Me

The API currently does not support adding embedded OLE references. The only
option is to use linking.

That would explain why it is not working....

Thanks!

Hi Sanjay,

"The API currently does not support adding embedded OLE references "

Today (7y ago), this information is valid?
