### Dynamic OLE menu commands

The Object on the Edit menu is dynamic; it changes to reflect the properties of the selected object.

The object may be described as a Document object, Bitmap Image object, Picture object, Worksheet object, or something similarly descriptive.

- If the object is embedded, the Edit menu displays those commands that are available to that type of embedded object.
- If the object is linked, the Edit menu displays commands for that type of linked object.

Commands on the context menus change in a similar fashion.

These dynamic commands are provided to give you more control when working with OLE objects.

### OLE and the Insert Picture command

When the Object command on the Insert menu is used to place pictures in a report, the picture can be treated as either an embedded or a linked object.

When the Picture command on the Insert menu is used to place pictures in a report, the Report Designer converts them into static objects.

Static objects do not support editing. To edit a static object, it has to be converted into an editable type of object using the Convert command on the Edit menu.
