BUG: OLE 1.0 Server Launched for Paste Link

ID: Q111578

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.01
• Microsoft OLE Libraries, included with:

      - Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.5 and 3.51
      - Microsoft Windows 95
  

SYMPTOMS

An OLE 1.0 server application copies an object to the clipboard, then enters the blocked state. An OLE 2.0 container application then attempts to paste a link to the object from the clipboard. The OLE 2.0 application is frozen.

Next, the OLE 1.0 application is shut down. This unfreezes the OLE 2.0 container application, which proceeds to paste the link to the OLE 1.0 object. However, an instance of the OLE 1.0 server is launched. Normally, the server is not run in a paste-link scenario.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
