MS Access Forum / ActiveX Controls / October 2003The Connection to the OLE server was lost.
Hi, I have inserted an ActiveX control I have created on an Access form. When i try to open the form, I get the error "The connection with the OLE server was lost, or the OLE server encountered an error while you were using it. Restart the OLE server, and then try the operation again" Does anybody know why this is happening? Thanks, Nithya Hi Nithya, Do you have Norton AntiVirus 2000, Norton AntiVirus 2001, or Norton AntiVirus 2002 installed on your computer? If so, please refer to the article to resolve the issue: ACC2000: "A Problem Occurred While Microsoft Access Was Communicating http://support.microsoft.com/?id=295824 Please let me know if this resolves the issue or you need further assistance.

But I don't think that could be the problem as I have a few more ActiveX controls created according to the same design and they run fine when I insert them on the Access form. My machine is an XP machine and I am using Office Xp (using Access 2002). The only other thing I can think of is that when I get the error message and I click OK, I get the message "There is no object in this control" Thanks, Nithya >-----Original Message----- >Hi Nithya, [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > >. Hi Nithya, If you confirm the issue is not related to the Antivirus software, we can try to open the form in design view, check the ActiveX control and its control source; we can delete the control on the form and insert it again to see if this works. In addition, is this problem machine specific? Does the issue occur on a fresh new database file? If there is some underlying code in the form open event, comment them out and to see if the problem occurs, it is possible the problem is related to some missing reference. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi I am sure it has nothing to do with the antivirus software. The error message is quite different...especially the one that says "There is no object in this control". My control is an ATL control and I tried everything you suggested in your previous post. I have tried just inserting the control on the form and opening it. There is no code associated with the form. I still get the error. I inserted 2 instances of the control on the form and I got the error message twice.I don't know if this information will help. Could it be a problem with the control registration? But I tried it on VB and it showed up and worked properly. Thanks, Nithya >-----Original Message----- >Hi Nithya, [quoted text clipped - 91 lines] > >. Hi, I figured out the problem. I had included support for connection points (events) in the control, but hadn't included any events. So there was no implementation for the interface. I guess that is why Access complained. Still wondering why Vb didn't. Thank you for all your help. Nithya >-----Original Message----- >Hi Nithya, [quoted text clipped - 91 lines] > >. Hi Nithya, Great! Thank you for sharing the resolution with us. :- ) It may be due to the difference between VB and Access VBIDE, such as the mechanism to handle error.
