OLE Error

I have a client that is using XP Operating System and Office XP. When
he runs a report that I have a picture on he gets an OLE error saying
the system cannot handle Object Linking. This is the first time I have
run into this problem as this report in running OK on other systems
including XP.
Any Ideas??

Hi Tony:

What version of Visual FoxPro? Is the picture stored in a general field or
in a file? If you make a simple report and place a picture object based
on a bitmap file, does it work? Could this be a permissions issue? If the
user logs on as Administrator, does the report run?

Do they have Office? If so, can you link, embed or preview an image in an
Excel spreadsheet or Word document?

I hope this helps.

Lee,
Good questions. They way it is now is that I have the header as a
Word.Doc file that I put into a general field and then use that field
in the report. This has been working for 4 years on other computers.
The person running the XP and Office XP is having the OLE error and I
will have to ask him these questions.

I have changed the code and put the header into a .JPG picture and now
call that up directly. This works great using XP and Office 2000 but I
will send it to him and have him try it on his XP using Office XP.

I am using VFP version 6 at the present time. I do have Version 8 but
running into to some grid on form conversion problems that I will ask
advice for soon.
Thanks for the quick help.
Tony
