Bob Foley Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have many drawings that have OLE attachments that are Excel spread sheets. In some drawings the attachment won't open? How can I find the source file location or get around this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todouble22 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 That just shows the Xref'sI'm having trouble opening an embedded OLE object (Excel file) are the paths the same as to where it is located and where it is referencing the excel file from? you may need to repath it or are they not opening at all? are you even getting a window as to where the file would be?

Bob Foley Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 The only thing i get when I click on the attachment is the proporty box. It does not show any kind of path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todouble22 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The only thing i can think of is when you click on the ole (excel file) it should open in excel and from there you can get the properties of the file. Maybe you'll want to attach them as a file so you can reference it? I hope it helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
