Error - Please Help

[Mandy Blackford]

I am getting the following error on two acces databses
that are running Windows 2000 -

"A problem occured while Microsoft Access was
communicating with the OLE server ot ActiveX Control.
Close the OLE server and restart it outside of Microsoft
Access. Then try the origiional operation again in
Microsoft Access."
We do not have an OLD server.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Mandy

ADO, DAO, WORD, EXCEL, ACCESS, and the Calender Control,
among others, are OLE servers. Which OLE server where
you attempting to use when you got the message?
