Has this suddenly started happening on your workstation and things were working before? If so, perhaps your PC has been automatically updated by system software and libraries have been overwritten. Try re-installing the clients - assuming you've already re-booted and seen if the problem still occurs.

Welcome. A Search for 40503 yielded 21 hits (including this thread). Is there anything in any of those that matches your situation?

The OLE server in this case is highly likely to be dsobjects.dll or one of the OLE servers that it in turn invokes. Therefore Arnd's comments are pertinent.

People who fix a problem by themselves and then fail to tell the community how they fixed it do not understand the concept behind community at all. There should be some way to ex-communicate them ...
