OLE Server not registered

[Carl]

I have Office 2003 Pro, Visual Basic.net, and Norton
Systemworks 2004 installed. When I try to launch a pivot
table in Access 2003 I get an error that "The OLE Server
isn't registered. To register the OLE Server, reinstall
it."

I've turned off Script Blocking in Norton Anti-Virus (a
known problem), have uninstalled and reinstalled Office
and Visual Basic. No Luck.

Any other known conflicts with this? I have seen many
posts on other web boards about this problem, and there
have been no solutions offered other than the Anti-virus
solution of turning off scripting.

"OLE server" is another name for ActiveX control. It's probably
one of the .ocx files on your system that's missing or not registered.

Does it specifically tell you which file is giving the problem?

Something that might help you figure this out:

Click on Tools then on ActiveX Controls. You'll see a list of things.
It should be quite long and you'll need to know the name of the
control that your database is using.

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately it does not tell me which file
spedifically - I know it happens when I try to open a
pivot table or pivot chart in access. I will keep
investigating, but I have completely reinstalled all of
my Microsoft Office Components.

Thanks for the reply.

There should be Microsoft Office Pivot Table listed in the controls
--> click on Tools, ActiveX Controls, go down through the list.

You'll come to Microsoft Office Pivot Table. I have two versions
listed on my system. You might have two as well. I'm not sure
which one to register, but might as well try the greater version
control first I guess. My controls are 9 and 10.

Let me know if that works for you.

That did it! There were two versions of Active X controls
for Pivot Tables on my computer: owc10.dll and owc11.dll
When I registered the owc10.dll file, the pivot tables
worked immediately. Thanks for your help, this was
driving me absolutely nuts!

If you it doesn't want to register it, then do this:

The file in question is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Components\10

Click on Start, then Run.
Type the following into the textbox:
regsvr32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Components\10

that should be one complete line.

You should get a message stating that the registration succeeded.

If that doesn't work... <g> we may be sinking.
