Pasting Trend Graphs

I have a form which contains a txtBox which allows the
user to enter verbiage regarding to equipment in the lab.
This txtbox is bound to a memo field in the DB.

I would like to allow the user to have the ability to
paste trend graphs of "whatever" from the clipboard.

I have created another txtBox and have linked it to a OLE
Object field in the DB.

I am unable to paste a XL chart into the text field.

The txtBox is:
Enabled = true
Unlocked = true
Cangrow = true

How do I make a form that can receive a copy of "whatever"
might be on the clipboard.
 
Access can store binary data, though it doesn't mean it
can display the data in a form which you are accustomed
to such as a Word document or Excel spreadsheet.
You may want to use a link to a spreadsheet or chart
file, then you can click the link (or program Access to
follow the link) and Windows will launch the associated
application, given the file's extension.
You could recreate the chart using the MS Office Chart
control, but that is probably not a solution.
