Strange, the link works fine here... Oh, well. Anyway I thought I'd post the article, just FYI.

Error: "Microsoft Access can't communicate with the OLE server. The OLE server may not be registered. To register the OLE server reinstall it"

Situation:
You did one of the following:
- Ran LiveUpdate and installed the Script Blocking update for Norton AntiVirus 2001
- Installed Norton AntiVirus 2001 Pro or 2002

Now, when you start Microsoft Access, you see the error message "Microsoft Access can't communicate with the OLE server. The OLE server may not be registered. To register the OLE server reinstall it."

Solution:
To fix this, you must make a change in the Windows registry.

CAUTION: We strongly recommend that you back up the system registry before making any changes. Incorrect changes to the registry could result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Modify only the keys that are specified. See the document How to back up the Windows registry before proceeding.
To edit the registry:

1. Click Start, and then click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
2. Type regedit and then click OK. The Registry Editor opens.
3. Delete the following subkey:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InProcServer32

CAUTION: Make sure that you navigate all the way down to the \InProcServer32 subkey, and that it is under the numbered subkey shown.

4. Click the Registry menu, and then click Exit.

If this does not fix the problem, then disable Script Blocking. Follow the steps in the document that applies to your version of NAV:
