MY OLE stopped working?

Until recently My Corel Photo Shop 6 program was integrated with outlook so
that if I wanted to "Email" a picture, Corel would open a new Email message
with the desired file(s) as an attachment.

As of today, I get a "Not Implemented" message from Outlook, and then some
weird error messages.

Strangely enough, the message is created and is sitting in the "outbox" with
no addresses, so it never leaves, so I can close the session, open the email
and edit the address and everything works fine... but why did something
"break".

Thanks

Ooops, oh yea... Outlook 2003 11.8010.8036 SP2

did you install an update to either program lately? did you try a detect and
repair in outlook?
 
Yes I did try a detect and repair, no change.

There were a lot of "security" patches loaded automatically recently. I
didn't see any mention of an outlook specific one, but that doesn't mean
there were any that affected OLE. Am I right that it is OLE and snot some
other acronym?

No updates were made to Corel...that is not automatic.

It is Outlook, as I tried to do the same from WORD and got the same error
message.

Not implemented sounds like the mapi connection between corel and outlook
was broken, I just wasn't sure which program caused it. It sounds like it
was not Corel, so it was either office or windows patch that broke it.

find fixmapi.exe on your computer (should be in your office folder under
program files) and run it - if there is no change, look for Corel forms and
see if other Corel users are having problems and know a fix, as I suspect it
is broken in all Corel programs.
 
I found "fixmapi" and tried to run it.

Nothing "Seemed" to happen... no error msg, but also no "completed" msg
either.

As I wrote, it SEEMS to be broken inside OUTLOOK as it won't work with
Microsoft WORD either. If I try to "send as attachment" from inside word,
it comes back with the "not implemented" error and then some other stuff.
If I then go into outlook, the message, with the attachment is there, in the
outbox, with no address...

If it won't work WORD>>Outlook, I don't think it is a corel problem....

What do I do next... I have tried find & repair, FixMapi...

Start->run, type "regsvr32.exe ole32.dll" and press okay. This should reregister the object and get rid of the error message.
