Existing OLE objects missing OLE Control Name suddenly

[ThiruDAN]

Hi,

I am using OLE objects in our Client applications. We are using 'Kodak image edit' and 'MSMAPI email' objects.

It was working fine till yesterday. Suddenly today I am getting following error 'Error accessing external object property page at line ## in function ###### of object ######.

This is the code in the line number specified int he error.
ole_1.object.Page = current_page

I highly appreciate your valuable response.

Thanks in Advance

Regards
Thiru

Hi,

We've had the same problem (some 2 years ago). Since the 'Kodak image edit' was freely included in windows 95/98, Microsoft has the habbit of releasing certain "fixes" now and then. What one of them really does, is making your kodak useless. So far there was always a way to find a newer version of the kodak control.... When I get home from work I'll try to see if I can still find some information about it. (at least the files you have to search for on google.) which versión of powerbuilder are you using?

Miguel

You might try to re-register your ocx first (checkout the ocx.bat file):
I'll pass you our latest files (2 years ago):
(it'll only be there for some days)

you have to unrar and then run the ocx.bat file to copy files to windows and register the ocx control

Do a backup of the files to be overwritten since my files probably are older than yours!!!!!

Hi Dave,
It is my understanding that Tiffs will not work in Windows
XP (basically post Win2K), because of licensing issue
between Kodak and Microsoft. I.e. the control that you’re
trying to display them with, simple won’t.

I had this very same issue (PB 10.2.1) about 9 months ago
