Hello,

I have a database that I have inherited. I am trying to delete an "unbound object frame" in a report and I am getting this error: "The OLE server isn't registered. To register the OLE server, reinstall it."

I don't know how to fix this. Where can I go to reinstall the OLE server? or is there some kind of work-around for this?

Thanks for the help.

Keith

This is a bump on the same topic. I am using Access 2003

I have the same issue - I can't delete an unbound image from a report - I keep getting the "OLE server error" despite reinstalling it as per the above article. This is not a clip art image, so this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262887 doesn't help either.

I have the visibility property set to no so it doesn't show. But reinstalling the Ole server dosen't allow me to cut/delete the image. This article seems to apply to a "Data Access Page". However it doesn't help. Does anyone have any other ideas?

I suppose if worse comes to worse I can copy and paste everything into a new report. But surely there is some way to cure this!

I couldn't delete an OLE image and got the error message: "the ole server isn't registered". As a workaround, right-click the image, select 'change to', then select 'image'. You'll get a warning that you can't undo the conversion, but that's okay. After converting to image, delete it.

In my case the OLE Class was "Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0 Photo".
