Embedded Word objects in a report generating OLE error message

I have created reports in Access 2000 which have embedded
Word files as objects in unbound OLE fields. When
attempting to open the report in Access 2003, the
following message comes up: "A problem occurred while
Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server",
and the objects don't appear properly in either preview
or design mode. These reports were created on one stand
alone computer, not a network, and I am attempting to run
them on a new stand alone computer.

Please advise...
 
I found solution after additional web searching. It is
caused by script blocking in Norton Anti Virus. To work
around, start NAV, go to options, uncheck "enable script
blocking".
Fixed problem instantly.
