BUG: First Entry in Paste Special Dialog Is Blank

ID: Q110798

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.01

SYMPTOMS

The first format entry in the Paste Special dialog box is blank after copying an OLE2Link object from an OLE 1.0 client to the clipboard.

NOTE: An OLE2Link object is created by the OLE 1.0 compatibility layer when an OLE 2.0 link is copied from an OLE 2.0 application to the clipboard, and then pasted into an OLE 1.0 client application.

CAUSE

The CLSID and lpszFullUserTypeName of the OBJECTDESCRIPTOR structure are left blank by the OLE 1.0 compatibility layer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the OLE libraries version 2.01. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

This is not a problem in 32-bit OLE.
