Answer 1

Searching the Microsoft's web site, I found some info on this error:
If you have never had Norton AntiVirus installed on your computer, follow the following instructions:
1. Open up the specific VI causing Error �2146959355
2. Recompile this VI by pressing the Run arrow while holding down the CTRL and SHIFT keys
3. Go to File � Save All
4. Run the VI
If you are using Norton AntiVirus 2000 with Microsoft Word 2000, follow these instructions:
Note: This information was provided by http://support.microsoft.com. Please use these instructions at your own risk.
1. Select Start � Run
2. If Norton AntiVirus is installed as a stand alone application, type:
regsvr32 -u "c:\program files\norton antivirus\officeav.dll"
If this is successful, you will receive:
DllUnregisterServer in C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\OfficeAV.dll succeeded.
If Norton AntiVirus is installed as a component of SystemWorks, type:
regsvr32 -u "c:\program files\norton systemworks\norton antivirus\officeav.dll"
If this is successful, you will receive:
DllUnregisterServer in C:\Program Files\Norton Systemworks\Norton AntiVirus\OfficeAV.dll succeeded.
3. Click OK
Microsoft notes that in some cases you must rename the oleaut32.dll and reinstall Office 2000. Renaming oleaut32.dll usually requires that you boot your computer in MS-DOS mode.
- Navigate to the directory where oleutt32.dll is located (usually C:\windows\system32) using the cd DOS command.
- Type: rename oleaut32.dll renamed_oleaut32.dll and press Enter
- Reinstall Microsoft Office
Note: This problem seems to still exist with Office 2002.
1. Unfortunately, this is how the activeX works. If Microsoft changes the activeX objects from one Office version to another, the executable built with Office97 will not work with Office2000. You will have to recompile your VI into the executable on a machine with Office2000 and toolkit configured for this version.
2. For the error "server execution failed" with Text Report Example, select File � VI Properties. Select "Execution" from the category box and set the "Preferred Execution" to user interface. This should solve the problem.
