Darryl, I had a similar problem, not sure if it applies to but in my case it had to do trying to open a JPG. The cure was to right click on any jpg and and make sure that paint was the default. My program used paint to display photo's. Like you it only affected those PC's that had the default JPG set to something else or perhaps not set at all. The same thing might apply if you are using something other than photos like say notepad for .txt etc. HTH Bill -------------------------------------------------- From: "Darryl Collins" <Darryl.Collins at iag.com.au> Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 9:15 PM To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: [AccessD] OLE Server blah blah... _______________________________________________________________________________________ Note: This e-mail is subject to the disclaimer contained at the bottom of this message. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Hi everyone, A couple of my users (vs everyone else) are getting the following error "The OLE server isn't registered: to register the OLE Server reinstall it" Now I have been digging around Google for a couple of days, but none of the solutions seem to fit what is going on here. It is a known issue with A2003 when using ADP etc, but I am using a regular old mdb / mde setup with no active data pages or anything too weird. This sort of error is usually related to a graphic from what I understand, but the singal graphic seems to be ok as well. I do have a couple of calendar controls (Active X) so that is a suspect. On the corporate PC's only two users out of many are having this problem. Open to ideas if anyone else has experience with this. I am thinking running a repair on their Office 2003 and seeing what happens. bah. annoying. cheers Darryl. _____________________________________ Darryl Collins | Business Analyst Database Developer Retail Business Insurance Insurance Australia Group (IAG) Level 2, 181 Williams St, Melbourne, 3000 - Australia Ph: + 61 3 9916 3926 Mobile: + 61 418 381 548 _______________________________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted in this message and its attachments (if any) is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed.
