Author How To Implement Word Pad OLE?

Hi,

I'm designing a very simple app with one table using an I.D. field
(the key), a filename field and a Blob to store an MS WordPad document
in, which I want to open and display (read only) on the form when it
is selected from the browse.

Since every Windows OS has the WordPad OLE support already installed,
it should work universally.

Has anyone ever set up the Word Pad (WordPad.Document.1) ?OLE before?
What does that look like done in Legacy (or even ABC, I'm flexible
<g> )

All I need is to load a *.doc into a Blob (not sure what kind of
control you pipe a non-image file through besides the ?OLE) then later
display it in the ?OLE on a form (in read-only mode, if possible).

Does anyone have any simple example apps of this or any embed
suggestions how to make this work?

As usual, OLEs leave me lost...

Thanks!

James
