 Question for a guru (WOSA guru, that is)

Why doesn't this work?

A particular database has a table with a field of type OLE Object.
In that particular field you want to embed a Word Document.
The Word Document has mail merge fields with the data source referring to
the same database via DDE.

In other words, can I embed in a field an OLE Object that initiates a DDE
session with the same database or any database for that matter?

This should not be a problem!?  I would think it would be similar to using
Access to automate a Word mail merge document that refers back to a table
or query in the automating database, which works fine.  But then again...

Yes I know that and have actually tried doing it. But it starts not to work
when it is embedded as an OLE object.
