Word OLE Automation
Error Message: The stub received bad data.
This is a treacherous bug, because it is caused by the Microsoft® Office Package
and it only occurs on a few PCs, but in all Office versions from Word 97 to Word 2007.
After having puzzled over its cause for a long time, we finally found an
error report and created a bugfix/patch for Office.

Technical background:
The error only occurs when using the Find object (search/replace).
Microsoft has assigned the same ID-number (GUID) to this Word object as for an outdated Excel® 5.0 library.
If the Excel library - for whatever reasons - is registered after the latest Word library, the identities are mixed up.
The bugfix above re-registers the Word library. This should solve the problem.
It's a pity Microsoft has not managed to adapt the Office setup and solve this problem in the last 10 years. |
