Insert Object dialog box

This dialog box appears when you choose the OLE Object command from the Insert menu.

Use the Insert Object dialog box to insert an object into you report. You can either insert an existing object, or create a new one.

Create New object

Click this option to create a new object and embed it in your report. When the Create New option is active, the Object Type list is displayed.

Create from File

Click this option if you would like to embed or link an object that already exists. For example, if you have created and saved a spreadsheet file in Microsoft Excel and you want to use it as an object, click Create from File and then select the file name via the File box.

The program displays the File box as well as the Browse button and Link check box whenever you select Create from File. See Insert Object dialog box (Create from File).

Object Type

This box lists all of the object types available on your system.

Note:    This list is based on the registration database. When OLE server applications are installed on your system, they are responsible for registering themselves with that database. If you have server applications on your system but they do not appear on this list, the applications may not have registered themselves properly.

Select the type of object you would like to embed in your report.
