[Quoted] We are currently running Oracle 6i on Metaframe 1.8 for Windows 2000 have have a problem with the code below:

When our application tries to make and OLE call to MS Word 97 we get an ORA-305500 when the OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ is executed.

However, I have noticed that if we give the User Power User or Administrator rights the code works fine. I have also noticed that with standard user rights when the OLE call is made Word does not open bu I can see Winword.exe in the processes...

Has anybody come across this before as your help would be greatly appreciated.
It must be a permissions problem Registry/File??? but I cannot locate. I have tried using FileMon/RegMon but with no luck.

Thanks in advance.
