SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for Windows version 1.x and 2.x, no errormessage is
displayed when an object linking and embedding (OLE) field code is
invalid.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c. This problem was corrected in Word version 7.0 for Windows 95. WORKAROUNDTo find an invalid OLE field code, display field codes in your document (from the View menu, choose Field Codes). If an OLE field code is invalid, Word for Windows will display the following error message in place of the OLE object: Choosing the Field Codes command again removes the check mark beside Field Codes and allows you to see the results of the field codes. MORE INFORMATIONIf you use an invalid dynamic data exchange (DDE) link, all versios of Word for Windows will generate the message "Remote Data Not Accessible." This error appears after you try to update the field by pressing the F9 key. Updating an invalid OLE field does not produce a similar message. Steps to Reproduce Problem
