Invalid argument. (Error 3001) While Pasting into an OLE Field

[Michael Obymako]

The following just started popping up when trying to paste a zip file into
an OLE field. All previous pastes show as a package.

Invalid argument. (Error 3001)
You tried to perform an operation that involves a routine in a DLL, and one
of the arguments to the routine is invalid. Check your entry to make sure
you have specified the correct arguments, and then try the operation again.

This error also occurs when you attempt to use mutually exclusive constants
in an argument to a method, such as specifying both dbConsistent and
dbInconsistent in the options argument to the OpenRecordset method.

I wonder if you have a corrupt table or memo field in that table? If
you go to the tables datasheet view can you scroll through all the
records? Ensure that you have all the fields on the screen including
making them real narrow if required.

Are you running AV software by chance? It's likely to be monitoring
and scanning zip files in copy/read/write operations.
