PRB: "Error Creating OLE Object" with Paintbrush & Windows 3.0 (102703)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FoxPro for Windows 2.5
- Microsoft FoxPro for Windows 2.5a
This article was previously published under Q102703 SYMPTOMS
Appending Paintbrush objects in Microsoft Windows version 3.0 to a
FoxPro for Windows general field will cause the following error
message:
Error creating OLE object
For example, APPEND GENERAL <FLDNAME> FROM \<path>\<file>.bmp will
cause this error to occur.
CAUSE
This error occurs because Paintbrush is not an OLE server in Windows
3.0. An appropriate OLE server is required to embed or link files of a
specific type in general fields.
