Problem with OLE server or Activex Control

[splatt_]

I've been trying to build me a little database, and I think I'm on the right track. But I'm doing it on a Virtual Machine running on a Parallels Mac Host. The error prompt, verbatim is:

A problem occurred while Inventory Management was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
Close the OLE server and restart it outside of Inventory Management. Then try the original operation again in Inventory Management.

Any ideas how to go around this?

Did you ever get this fixed? I was having lots of errors with Access 2007 through parallels. I used bootcamp and installed windows on a partition on my mac. Then I installed office 2007 in windows native environment and now it is working perfectly.

I never did. I was trolling all over the Web for a solution that would solve this particular issue, all for naught.. I've given up on this. And since my project isn't all that big, I decided to just revive my 6-year old PC.
