Exporting OLE Records

I have a Document Control Database set-up using Access.
There ia a table with an OLE field that stores the entire
document. I would like to automatically export each row
out to a file so I can have a directory filled with all my
document files. Any help will be appreciated.
 
A quick search on GoogleGroups would have yielded the desired solution
based on Word Automation from within Access. Here is a sample post:

Hi Jeff,

We need to save the embedded object to a file and then relink the
object.
The saving code will like:

Dim NewDoc As String
DocPath = "c:\worddoc.doc"
With Me.OLEObject
.Class = "Word.Document"
.Verb = acOLEVerbOpen
.Action = acOLEActivate
.Object.Application.Documents.Item(1).SaveAs DocPath
.Object.Application.Quit
.Action = acOLEClose

End With

Please feel free reply to the threads if you have any questions or
concerns.


Sincerely,

Alick Ye, MCSD
