SYMPTOMS
You get the following error message when you attempt to run an ActiveX
control in Word 97.
The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.
Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it
has not been deleted, moved or renamed.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you attempt to use an ActiveX control, such as the
Microsoft FTP Control, which is installed by the Microsoft ActiveX Internet
Controls setup program. This problem also occurs when you attempt to use an
ActiveX control from Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools. These
controls are not currently supported by Word 97. This error message may
occur when you attempt to use other Microsoft or third-party ActiveX
Controls.
Word 97 currently supports a number of ActiveX controls to help you build
interactive forms and for data access. You can install these controls if
you choose a complete/custom installation of Word 97 or Office 97.
The use of third-party or other Microsoft ActiveX controls that are not
shipped with Word 97 are not supported by Microsoft Technical Support.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for
Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
