These files have become corrupt or damaged on your system and because you have two instances of the file I suggest that you go to www.microsoft.com and read article Q158658,and also download the office 97 removal program ERASER.exe
you may want to download the service pack that updates the ole32.dll
This method is suggested because I am not sure which version of the file is corrupt or damaged.

That web site and article number was very impressive, your pretty good.

I have spent the day downloading, running "eraser" and attempting re-install.

I did manage to get rid of Office 97 once, a fact I forgot to mention but the ERASER did a good job.

Unfortunately the same error occurs. I knew I shoudn't have run that Microsoft supplied fix for Y2K. It solved my date problem but seems to have created more.

I'm going to wipe out my WINDOWS directory, and reinstall everything.

Thanks

Alan
