Assign Report Row to Unbound Object

I have a report with a Record Source defined. I added an unbound object
control (Acrobat 7.0 Browser Document). How do I assign the detail rows data
value to the control? I assume the answer will not be specific to Acrobat
because it is defined as a standard OLE Object.

?You added an unbound object control to the report, not to a form?

What are you expecting it to do?

What are you trying to accomplish (you've described "how")?
 
We currently maintain a 25,000 page legal document (spanning 50 WordPerfect
files). When pages change, we send the updated pages with each change
request detail line. What I want to do is capture the change request reason
in SQL Server and the resulting pages specific to the change (converted from
WP to PDF using PDF995). I am using Access to create the final report which
is printed and mailed. The receivers of the mailed report currently replace
the updated pages with the mailed items and read through the change request.
At times, the changes cover from 1 - 100 pages depending on the scope of the
change. At the moment, the mailing is created via paper without the ability
to easily view past changes. Being legal documents, it is essential to see
what the pages looked like at any point in time for court cases.

In addition to the small changed document file generated bi-weekly, we burn
a baseline CD containing all WordPerfect files to facilitate court
investigation quarterly. Needless to say, court investigations are very time
intensive.

The intent of the project is to capture changes in SQL Server and generate
the entire change document using MS Access Reports. In addition to having a
better report generation method, we can make the changes available to web
subscribers, reduce mail, facilitate better court investigations, and
hopefully reduce our costs.
 
I would like to be able to help further, but I have a "no-complete" clause
with my employer. I suspect other 'group readers will be able to help.

You may wish to repost to catch the group's attention, with a bit more
detail than your original post.

Regards and best of luck

Hi John,

I am looking into this issue and will update you as soon as possible. Would
you please generate a small sample for me? I understand the information may
be sensitive to you, my direct email address is
(e-mail address removed) (please make sure you have removed 'ONLINE'
before you click SEND), you may send the file to me directly and I will
keep secure.
