Default PDFs and Word Documents in Access Report

I'm trying to give the users an option to insert documents or PDFs into the
report.
I added an oleobject to the report. However, only page one will be
displayed.
Is there a way around this?

I'd like to just store the filename in my table, then load the document into
the OLE Object when the report is loaded.

Thanks
Vayse

There is no method available to display more than the first page of the
document. You simply cannot combine an Access report with an external
document.
The only workaround would be to programmatically:
Print all/portion of the Access report
Print the external document
Print the remainder of the Access report(if any)

Finally, you might consider printing all documents to PDF and then use a PDF
utility to combine the docs as required.
