ACC2: Resources Lost Printing Reports with OLE Objects (123591)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Access 2.0
This article was previously published under Q123591
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

SYMPTOMS

When you print a form or report containing several OLE objects (such as charts created in Microsoft Graph), Microsoft Access appears to reduce the available Microsoft Windows system resources until the available system resources reach zero.

When the Windows system resources reach zero, different results can occur, depending on the operating system and version of Windows running on your computer. Windows may seem to run slowly, parts of the Windows environment may seem to disappear, or you may receive a general protection (GP) fault error message.

STATUS

This problem no longer occurs with OLE 2.02, which is available with the Microsoft Access version 2.0 Service Pack. For information about how to obtain the Service Pack, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

122927 WX1124: Microsoft Access Version 2.0 Service Pack

MORE INFORMATION

The new OLE 2.02 dynamic-link library (DLL) files have been created to coincide with the release of Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5. These new DLLs provide hooks for 16/32 interoperability for 32-bit applications.

OLE 2.01 contains limitations that can cause problems in large networks and with screen palettes. OLE 2.02 corrects the following problems:
  • A limit of 20 users who can access a read-only file.
  • A 4 GB high lock on a network read (such as on DEC Pathworks version 4.x).
  • A GP fault during multiple palette use.
