Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs

Steve, Thanks for the suggestion. All of my graphs on the presentation were produced in PowerPoint using MS Graph. I am able to open and edit some of the graphs and with others; I get the Server Application error message. I think you win the prize for weirdest bug of the week for this one, Ernie. Echo, tell Ernie what he's won!!! Meanwhile, if you can/want to send me a version of the presentation with just one or two of the slides that provoke this, I'd like to have a look.

Echo S
I tried to disable the Norton AntiVirus plug-in using the Start|Run mode. I searched for officeav.dll. I found it in the Norton AntiVirus directory. I entered the following in the Run window: regsvr32 /u “\officeav.dll” The computer responded with the following message: LoadLibrary (“\officeav.dll”) failed. The specify module cannot be found. I also re-registered MS Graph. The problem still persists. Do you have any other suggestions?

Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
Wow, I don't know.
What's really odd is it happens on some but not on all. You said all the graphs were created with PPT's graphing tools, right? It's PPT 2003 with both service packs installed, right? Which version of Windows. Also, if you do a search on your harddrive for Graph?.EXE, do you find more than one version of Graph? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Ernie Wong" wrote in message ...

Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
Steve,
I have sent you a slide from the presentation that represents the problem I am having. On this slide, there are three pie charts. On the computer running Windows XP Professional and PowerPoint 2003, I can only open the graph labeled, Product 1. When I double-clicked on the other two pie charts, I get the error message, “The server application, source file, or item can't be found or return an unknown error. You may need to reinstall the server application.” I have tested this file on three other computers. The have the following applications: PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, and PowerPoint 2004 for Mac. In all of these PowerPoint applications, I have no problem opening all three pie charts. Please let me know what you find out on your machine.

Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
Echo S,
The operating system is Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 2. I updated PowerPoint 2003 several days ago and installed the latest service pack. Prior to installing the service pack, when I tried to open this file, I got a can't read error. All the graphs in the presentation were created using MS Graph. I have only one file named graph.exe on my hard drive. I even have slides with multiple charts on them and I can open some and not others. I have edited the presentation on a Macintosh computer running MacOS 10.3.9 with PowerPoint 2004 for Mac. Do you think that could contribute to the problem? I have had no problem with the file on a computer with Windows 95 running PowerPoint 97 and a computer with Windows 2000 running PowerPoint 2000. Ernie "Echo S" wrote: Wow, I don't know.
