Display OLE Object(pdf) in axAcroPdf

Is there any way to get a pdf from an access database and display it directly into an axAcroPdf control without having to save the document on the disk?

If this isn't possible with Access, can you recommend some other db to use? My "mentor" suggested I'd use firebird but until this problem occurred, access did everything I needed it to do.

Thx in advance

Would it work to just save the PDF to a temp area and then delete it when the form closes? Not an ideal solution but it would get round some of the problems

It is not a limitation of the database but rather axAcroPdf which is just a wrapper for Acrobat Reader which does not support loading pdfs from memory.
