Operation of OLE Object Failed

B

BobJL

When trying to add an object (package) to a database I now receive a message
that the operation failed & that the OLE server may not be registered. It
also informes me that the OLE server needs to be reinstalled to fix the
problem. This situation started showing up a couple of days ago and I have
been unable to fix it. I've re-installed Office Professional 2003, I've tried
the repair set-up, I've tried repairing the "Triedit.dll" per Article ID
#896865, I've tried various OLE/DDE setting options. Nothing seems to restore
the capability of inserting an object into any of my databases without
receiving the message that the OLE Object Failed and that I need to Reinstall
it.

I had no problems a few days ago but now I can no longer insert any OLE
object data types into any of my existing Access 2003 Databases. There is no
issues with opening the existing "packaged" objects in the databases.

I've created a new "TEST" database and I still have the same issues. But I
think I've worked my way around this issue temporarily. I've added a new
column to the "test" database but instead of an "object" data type it's a
"hyperlink" data type column. This seems to be working OK for now. This is
not my preferred method because I've had previous issues with hyperlinks and
I do not have the time to convert all my databases from "object" to
"hyperlink".

A little background: I'm using Corel Photo House 5 as my imaging editor. My
images are scanned picture saved in .bmp format (768 X 512 pixels) with a
size of 387.65kb. I have approx 4500 images used on (6) databases.
I hope one of the "MPV's" respond to this thread and provide a solution so
that I can continue using the object package insertion into my databases.

I need at fix to this situation. HELP!!!

I have been encountering this exact same problem for some time now and have
tried the very same suggestions as the OP has undertaken.

In my case I'm attempting to insert a word document into an object field.
