"CoInitialize has not been called"?

[Sashanan]

Occasionally, when trying to copy/paste values in a table in Enterprise Manager, I get an error message "CoInitialize has not been called" upon cutting or copying. The value I was trying to get is not passed to the clipboard, but if I used cut, it *does* disappear from the textfield.

There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the error's appearance: often there's no problem at all for a while, then suddenly it shows up every time I try to copy/paste. I can only get it to stop by shutting down the Enterprise Manager entirely and starting it up again.

I can't seem to find any mention of this error message in Books Online. Can anybody tell me what it is and what I can do to prevent it from appearing? I'm using SQL Server 7, should it make a difference.

Thanks in advance!

John is correct. This appears to be a bug that was fixed in SQL 7 SP3. Terry L. Broadbent
