Objects in the design canvas are managed via an OLE Automation server. There has been a failure in this mechanism.
This particular error code can be a huge number of things, so I'm not going to try to guess. It may, for example, that you have limited access on Windows XP/2000.
May I suggest an internet search for "runtime error 440"?

My memory on that is sketchy but it seems like uninstalling and reinstalling the client software fixed that for us on 7.5.2, but I must say it could have been a similar error. You can check other clients for the same behavior and compare. You can also try searching the IBM Support Portal on the error. Depending on what you find, you may need to contact support.

Re: Run-time error '440'
Hey Kumar,
I will give you a fix for this
Go to registry editor
Start -Run
type regedit
Go inside the folder hierarchy like this
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
IBM
Datstage Client
Now you will see a folder with numbering like this
818ac65d-76a7-4790-affb-8a9a20dad86c
Right click on it and Click Rename
Add .bak to the end of the folder name
Like this
818ac65d-76a7-4790-affb-8a9a20dad86c.bak
After this go back to designer, open your job, open the transformer and you shouldnt see the automation error
