ORA - 305500 Unhandled Exception when making an OLE2 call - HELP!

[Anthony Davies]

We are currently running Oracle 6i on Metaframe 1.8 for Windows 2000
have have a problem with the code below:

When our application tries to make and OLE call to MS Word 97 we get
an ORA-305500 when the OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ is executed.

However, I have noticed that if we give the User Power User or
Administrator rights the code works fine. I have also noticed that
with standard user rights when the OLE call is made Word does not open
bu I can see Winword.exe in the processes...

Has anybody come across this before as your help would be greatly
appreciated.
It must be a permissions problem Registry/File??? but I cannot locate.
I have tried using FileMon/RegMon but with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

p_error := null;
l_alert.display_message('WARN', 'path and file
'||p_path_and_file);
v_app_id := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
l_alert.display_message('WARN', 'assign v_docs_id next');
v_docs_id := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(v_app_id, 'Documents');
l_alert.display_message('WARN', 'assign v_arg_list next ');
v_arg_list := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
l_alert.display_message('WARN', 'ole2 add_arg next');
OLE2.ADD_ARG(v_arg_list, p_path_and_file);
l_alert.display_message('WARN', 'assign v_doc_id next');
v_doc_id := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(v_docs_id, 'Open', v_arg_list);
l_alert.display_message('WARN', 'ole2 destroy_arglist next');
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(v_arg_list);

Vaguely remember a similar problem from years back.

Try using OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY instead of Invoke_Obj, there are a few
known issues surrounding the use of invoke_obj.
Also, are the word documents write protected? Try searching MetaLink
at www.oracle.com (under Support) for more explainations
