PC Win: Update Message when Closing Unfinished OLE Object (86319)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0b
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q86319 SYMPTOMS
In version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, if you exit
while composing a note containing an unfinished object linking and
embedding (OLE) object (where Mail is the client document and the OLE
server is open and no update has been done) you see the standard OLE
"Do you want to update..." message even when the note being composed is
not the current active window.
CAUSE
Applications such as Microsoft Word for Windows use only one type of
active window, but Mail for Windows uses several types. With Mail, it is
possible to have active Send Note windows, Message Finder windows, and the
Message Center Viewer window. Normally, if you try to close an application
with an unfinished OLE object in a window that is not active, the
application switches to the window with the OLE object and prompts you to
update. When you close Mail with an unfinished OLE object in a Send Note
window, Mail prompts you to update the object regardless of which window is
the current active window.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2
of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
