Problem communicating with OLE Server

[RCSNC]

On a W2KPro SP3 box, running MS Office 2K, SP3 a user cannot open any database without getting the following error message:

"A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was
communicating with the OLE Server"

The message is received even if you open a new blank database. The databases in question are very simple - no outside calls, most are based on Microsoft sample databases.

I can open several of the databases in question on a like machine with no problems.

I've reinstalled the Office Suite, this did not resolve the problem.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I figured this one out - after a restart the databases opened without error. The error message above began only after opening MS Outlook, then Access

I reinstalled MS Outlook - loading everything, not just the typical - and it now works fine. No idea which of the components actually fixed the problem.

Weird
