TMGR: OLE Automation Errors Don't Return Error Information

ID: Q151127

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When an error is generated in Microsoft Team Manager when it is being controlled by another application through OLE Automation, Microsoft Team Manager presents a warning or error dialog box, instead of returning a OLE run-time error.

CAUSE

Many applications that support OLE automation return a run-time error to the calling application if the action taken creates an error or warning. These errors can then be trapped in the calling application and the corrective action can be handled by the calling applications programming code. Microsoft Team Manager does not return OLE run-time errors.

MORE INFORMATION

Many actions that would normally generate a dialog box in Microsoft Team Manager return an OLE automation error when accessed through Visual Basic for Applications. If the action being performed seems to stop responding, switch to Team Manager and see if a dialog box has been displayed.
