WD97: Converting ActiveX to Picture Causes Invalid Page Fault

 Last reviewed: February 11, 1998
Article ID: Q165922
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

Attempting to convert an ActiveX Control Object to a Word Picture Object using Visual Basic for Applications causes the following error: 

   This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
The details of the error show: 

   WINWORD caused an invalid page fault in WINWORD.EXE at 0137:30440759.
Choosing OK causes Word to close.

CAUSE

When creating your macro, Visual Basic for Applications does not check to see if the method of conversion you are applying to an object is an allowed method for the object type.

You receive the error message because an ActiveX object (controls such as a check box, command button, and so on) cannot be converted to a Word Picture object.

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.
