A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE
server or Active X control. Close the OLE server and restart it outside of
Microsoft Access. Then try the original operation again in Microsoft Access.



When the above error occurred, I knew not what to do. I re-installed Office
2k, checking the run everything from my computer option. The error went away
until I restarted the computer.



Window 2k OS, Norton corporate version 7.5 with latest update. The error
occurs when nothing else is open. I don't know what restart the OLE server
means. It is not my file. I know little about Access. I wish I knew a lot
right now.



Please help, you Access Gurus.



Thanks

May not be the answer in your case, but as you mentioned Norton, have you
tried the following page

Thanks Peter. I think the problem was actually caused by a virus. I spent
all day today removing virus and installing patches. File opens fine now.
