OLE Error 3

[tziviak]

I have a report-in which I have an OLE object-from microsoft word-but the ole object doesn't show up when I preview the report-and I get this error:

A problem occured while microsoft access was communicating with the ole server.
Try one or more of the following:
*Make sure you're connectd to the network server where the OLE server application is located.
*Closed the OLE server and restart it outside of Microsoft access. Then try the original operation again from within Microsoft Access.
*Reinstall the OLE server to ensure that its's registered.

This computer isn't part of a network-its a stand-alone pc-I tried uninstalling and reinstalling office xp. What can be the problem?
thank you

Oddly enough this may be a result of a conflict with Norton Antivirus or McAfee Antivirus. You need to turn off script blocking because this interferes with communication with the OLE Server. Read the knowledge base article below:

Ok...here's a continuation question. I've run into this same problem, but I'm running Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition across a Novel server. I can't find a mechanism (anywhere in the AntiVirus manager screen or the AntiVirus client setup) to disable script blocking. The Symantec web site is also useless. Anyone know a fix for me?

Nine times out of ten, the simplest solution is the best one.

I am having this same error and I disabled script checking in Norton Anti-Virus System Works 2002 and I also disabled the checking of Office documents. (I have office 2003). Any other reasons I can be getting this error?

Thank you,

Nevermind, I solved my issue by upgrading to Norton 2005.

Thanks
