Hello Everyone,

We are converting to Word 2003. I tried to import a form (CustomMsg.frm) I created in Word 97. I received this error in the error log:

Line 8: Property OleObjectBlob in CustomMsg had an invalid file reference.

There was a screen message: System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259). Unspecified error

Then a screen message: Out of Memory

I appreciate in advance any suggestions in getting around this.

Thanks!!!

OK. I figured it out. Everyone probably new this and thought it too obvious to mention. But I didn't know it until now. The .frx file needs to be in the same directory as the .frm file when importing.

Yar - that will stuff you up :-) Bit hard to guess from your initial
problem description :-)
