    Hi,
    New here.. Looking extract the path from any OLE linked objects in .drw mode
    I can get data and settings but no path as a string. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Eric

    A cursory examination seems to indicate that it isn't possible. I even
    looked at the COleItem description at MSDN but didn't see any obvious
    stuff there either.

    Sounds like you're already looking at the IStream data. I did a quick
    and dirty under sw03, dropping a bitmap into a drawing. I peeked in
    the IStream data and saw pretty much the same, just data.

    But if i chose to *link* an OLE object, the path did show up ...
    which, I guess, makes sense.
