OLE Objects and PDMLink

Pro/E Users,

Using the INSERT, OBJECT, CREATE FROM FILE, LINK option, I inserted an Excel spreadsheet into my Pro/E drawing. The LINKED Excel file was originally located on my desktop. I checked the Excel file into PDMLink as an attachment to the EPM Document which obviously also contained the *.drw. When I open the drawing however, the OLE object fails to appear. The message log states that the Linked file is not available. The path given in the message log points back to my desktop, which would explain why the OLE object disappears. According to PTC, it is not possible to LINK an OLE object to a location within PDMLink. With that said, how are other companies dealing with OLE Objects, in terms of the integration to PDMLink? Does anyone have OLE Objects/PDMLink best practices they are willing to share?

Thanks!!
