On a form or report, an OLE bound control lets you display the contents of an OLE object (such as from Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel) in a General field of a table.

Unlike OLE container controls, insertable OLE objects do not have their own set of events. Also, OLE bound controls, unlike OLE container controls, are bound to a General field in a Visual FoxPro table.

For additional information about OLE objects in Visual FoxPro, see Sharing Information and Adding OLE.
