I have a database that was built by some users, long before I came to my
current job location (oh yes, one of those fun issues), and have run into an
error that is involving a 3rd party tool, and is tough to duplicate.
There is an ocx control named "Kodak Image Thumbnail control" the path is
C:\winnt\system32\ImgThumb32.ocx.
This is an active x control, that on the double click event, opens up the
correct corresponding .pdf file. It works correct for me, on my machine. It
works correctly for 3 other people on their own machines. When we had a user
it worked correctly log into a user who it does not work correctly, it then
worked correctly for them (appears to be user rights, and not machine
specific). It does not work correctly for another 2-4 users (not sure the
exact number).
But, the rights were gone over with a fine tooth comb, and nothing was found
different from each user.
What is weird, is how the error occurs. There are 59 records in the
database, with a linking .pdf file displayed in this .ocx control. For those
users in which this does not work, the first two records open the .pdf
correctly. After this they receive the following error:
"Microsoft Access can't open the file containing the OLE object.
- You may have specified an invalid file name or an invalid unit of data
(such as a range of cells from a worksheet) when the file for the OLE object.
- The file you specified may not be available because it's locked by another
user or you don't have permission to use it.
Try one of the following:
- Make sure the file is available and that you used the correct file name.
- Check the OLE server's documentation for information about the syntax to
use when specifiying an OLE object's data."
[OK]
Since this is a third party tool, that I have never used, and do not even
have on my machine (yet it works correctly for me) I am not sure what else I
can do to track down the error. I just wanted to see if anyone else has run
into this error, and if so how they had fixed it.
Thank you for your time.
