You receive an "An error (1440) occurred during the action Insert Control" error message when you insert a Visio drawing control in Visio 2003 (826411)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003
  • Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you try to insert a Microsoft Visio 2003 Drawing Control in a Visio 2003 document, you may receive the following error message:
An error (1440) occurred during the action Insert Control.
When you click OK to close the error message, you may receive the following error message:
Visio is unable to insert this control.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Visio is not a supported container for the Visio Drawing Control. The Visio Drawing Control operates as another instance of the Visio program and provides some of the same functionality as the full program. As a result, Visio and the control cannot coexist at the same time.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
