Edit Links Dialog Box

  • Articolo

This dialog box makes it possible for you to change or break an object link. This menu option is enabled when you open a general field that contains a linked OLE object you generated in a separate application.

  • Links
    Displays the name and path of the linked file, the type of application, and the type of updating selected for the link.
  • Source
    Displays the complete name and location of the object file selected in the Link box.
  • Type
    Displays the object application or type of application to which the file selected in the Link box is linked.
  • Update
    Specifies how you want to update information.
    • Select Automatic to have Visual FoxPro update the information whenever new information becomes available.
    • Select Manual to update the information only when you select a link and click Update Now.
  • Update Now
    Updates the link selected in the Link box. If information has changed in the object document, the new information shows in your form or report.
  • Open Source
    Opens the selected file in the object application for editing.
  • Change Source
    Displays the Change Source dialog box, where you can specify a different object file for the selected link or change item information.
  • Break Link
    Breaks the link selected in the Link box. This changes the object to a picture, which can no longer be edited by the OLE application that created it.
