run-time error

[chubby]

What causes a run-time error '4198' Command failed ?

I am inserting Win2k clipart with the following code:
Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="MS_ClipArt_Gallery.5"

Cheers

I tested your code snippet and don't get an error.
If you used selection.inlineShapes.addpicture... to you get the same error?

I get the error using Office XP SP2a with both WinXP SP1a & Win2k SP4.

What is the complete code snippet for
selection.inlineShapes.addpicture...
so that I may test this method.

Thanks
Josh

This is a sample which includes all the parameter, but only Filename is
required.

Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:=[fullpath and file name to be
inserted here], LinktoFile:=False, _ SaveWithDocument:=True,
Range:=Selection.Range

Yes, the InlineShapes.AddPicture method works fine.

Back to the original problem - when I run the code
Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="MS_ClipArt_Gallery.5"
the Microsoft Clip Gallery 5.0 dialog appears and allows insertion of
clipart correctly, but a run-time error '4198' Command failed dialog appears
in the Word window.


When I do the same thing from the menu using:
Insert>Object>Microsoft Clip Gallery
everything works fine.

Any ideas?
