Question : acOLECreateLink

In my database (Access 8) I have a table for holding links to documents which relate to the Personnel file for each Applicant.  When a new link is to be added my code looks to see if the object to be linked  is already in the table, and iff not is supposed to add it.  The following is a snippet of my code for creating the link.

If Found = False Then
    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , A_NEWREC
    Forms![Applicant Picture File]![UniqueVal] = [UVal]
    DoCmd.Requery
    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , A_LAST
   Forms![Applicant Picture File]![Applicant Picture File SubForm].Form![Path] = Pth & Match
   Forms![Applicant Picture File]![Applicant Picture File SubForm].Form![Picture].OLETypeAllowed = acOLELinked
   Forms![Applicant Picture File]![Applicant Picture File SubForm].Form![Picture].SourceDoc = Pth & Match
   Forms![Applicant Picture File]![Applicant Picture File SubForm].Form![Picture].Action = acOLECreateLink
End If

The last line brings up the error "Microsoft Access tried to create an OLE link, but there was no source document for this object", but when I look at the preceding line (which sets the SourceDoc) in the debugger it reveals the name of the file I wish to link.

Anyone got any clues as to how to fix the problem??
