Hi Denyrah,

I also couldnt understand Bizmark's post.

and no Norton Anti virus installed
(which might cause OLE problem according to some postings in the forum).

Anyway am sure that this is not the problem as my friend has Anti-virus
software updated and still the error is being faced. I think its more to do
with MS software conflict or something like that rather than a virus issue.

Thanks a lot,
Hari

Hi Bizmark,

Can you elaborate more on how we can resolve this as I am also facing
similar issue with Hari. I can't insert Excel OLE object from Power Point
or
Word. I will get same error message. Work around for this that I must open
Excel application in the background first before inserting Excel OLE into
Power Point / Word. No problem inserting any other OLE object into Power
Point or Word.

The problem was not there before I apply the latest Windows security
update.
I am using Windows XP SP2, Office 2003, and no Norton Anti virus installed
(which might cause OLE problem according to some postings in the forum).

Appreciate the advise.

Regards,

Denyrah

This sounds a bit like the Task Pane related problem in my post
'Creating a Powerpoint (XP onwards) object with an ActiveWindow' (from
Excel).

I think the Office applications (XP onwards), when they start up, fail
to report back to the OLE server that the object has been successfully
created, and although I can't put my finger on it, I'm sure it's
something to do with the Task Pane.
