>There is a file that comes with C++ (which I don't use!) called WINERR.h that lists all or most of the errors that are generated. It is sometimes possible to debug the error code. The file isn't that straight forward. The error codes though are 32 bits which requires an extra character in your OLE Error code. We recently ran into a problem where a user on an NT machine couldn't do a createobject on an ACCESS object (using a middle tier com object) because, while he had proper permission, the process that was actually doing the createobject, didn't. Using DCOMCNFG on the ACCESS dll got it working.

Apparently these keys are added with the install of WIN95 and if they are not there OLE doesn't work. If you check the microsoft site on REGCLEAN there is also a file that will put those keys back.

Bob,
Re: errors.. Never used regclean on this machine, it was wiped from the dealer and had NT installed, and then applications I use were installed (VFP, Office...).

Re: DCOMCNFG.. I ran this and checked the settings for Word, and found that the settings were correct for my user id, I am setup as the admin on the machine in question..

Funny thing is, the same type error occured today, when I tried firing up multiple copies of Word through NT explorer today.. That t could not open a document called (filename was a small square box)...

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
