PRB: Error Inserting or Editing a Linked or Embedded OLE Objec (89611)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q89611 SYMPTOMS
An OLE client application receives the error codes OLE_ERROR_COMM or
OLE_ERROR_POKENATIVE when trying to insert or edit a linked or
embedded OLE object.
CAUSE
The server application has yielded before calling the
OleRegisterServer() or OleRegisterServerDoc() functions.
RESOLUTION
Due to the synchronous nature of DDE messages and the fact that OLE
1.0 is implemented with DDE, an OLE server application should not
yield before calling the OleRegisterServer() function. Additionally,
if the server command line contains the /Embedding switch, the
function OleRegisterServerDoc() should also be called before yielding.
NOTE: Yielding does not necessarily require calling GetMessage() or
PeekMessage() -- any Windows function which yields before returning
will also cause the problem mentioned above, like MessageBox() or
DialogBox().
