 OLE Automation Error Experienced with Word 7.0 not with Word 6.0

I have developed an application with VB 3.0, Jet Engine 2.0 which uses Access
2.0. This application uses OLE to create a Word document. This application runs
under Windows 3.1 or Windows95 when using Word 6.0, however,when I try and run
it under Windows95 with Word 7.0 I get an OLE Automation Error "Microsoft Word
Err - 1016 There is not enough memory to complete the operation. Can anybody
give me some help with this because Microsoft sure can't!!! Thanks

Natalie,

Not sure if this helps (I'm having dificulty remembering the details
because it was a while ago!). I seem to recall that we had this error
message during development once when a developer was trying to make a
call between 16-bit and 32-bit environments. I think in this case it
was 16-bit Word (6.0) and a 32-bit app which Word was trying to
extract some data from. The lack of thunking problem caused Word to
generate strange messages - a consistent one of which was the
insufficient memory to complete operation.

We got around this by providing a thunking mechanism.

As Word 7 is 32-bit (at least I don't believe there is a 16-bit
version) it may be worthwhile trying the same operations from 32-bit
VB4.
