I'm having a strange problem that I hope someone here can help me with.
We are running Office 2003 Enterprise with all the latest patches applied. We have a Word document that has an embedded Excel object. For all but 2 users, when you double-click on the Excel object, the spreadsheet opens up for editing.
For the other 2 users, they get the following errors:
"Microsoft Office Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?"
If you click YES, then you get "Installing components for Microsoft Office Word - Installing: Application server". This process then fails with the error "This object was created in Excel. This application is not available to open this object. Make sure the application is properly installed and that it has not been deleted, moved, or renamed.". This is also the same error you get if you click NO above to repairing the feature.
Office has been removed and reinstalled and still this problem persists. Any ideas on what this might be caused by or how we might fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
