Default "OutputTo" an OLE Object in a table

Hello all,

I have a series of reports that are, via a Macro, generated as rich-
text files. However, the default action is to either enter an
automatic file path to save, or leave that blank and be presented with
a "Save As..." dialog box instead.

Instead of saving to the hard disk, I'd like to save the generated
report into the database, so that the generated report can be pulled
up at some point in the future.

What's the easiest way to automate doing this? Currently, the user
has to save the .rtf file and manually embed it into the database.

Also, what's the easiest way to print the .rtf's once they are
embedded?

Also, I should specify, this should be done, from the user's point-of-
view, only through forms. That is, all interactions should be with
command buttons.
