I have the following line in my program which worked fine for many years
until recently.

APPEND GENERAL PICTURE FROM <Name of Bitmap File eg "9999.BMP">

Now I get the the following message "Error creating OLE object"

I have tried this interactively with a new table and get the same result.

Please HELP!!!

Thank you.

Did you install something that works with BMPs or somehow mess with the OLE
handler / server for BMP?

Can you try it on a different machine?

The other thing the help file mentions is a lack of memory.. I assume it is
doing this for any (ie even a tiny) bitmap? If so, do you have MEMLIMIT
specified in config.fpw?
I'm guessing you are running this on a relatively modern machine (ie with
quite a lot of memory.)
