"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
Has anyone found an answer to this problem yet? I've got the same situation
in my lab(s) running W2K and Office 2000 with all the latest on both. "discgolfdc" wrote: I just upgraded to Microsoft Office 2003 Pro. End of problem.

That might help me if this should happen again in the future. Thanks! Jayson |

"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
Try uninstalling any recent Office Updates. If that doesn't work, try some
recent Microsoft Updates. They can always be reinstalled but I thought I saw somewhere in here (wish I could remember where) that a user tried that and it was the culprit. This could also explain why it is suddenly occurring. Good luck Post back here to see if it worked. "discgolfdc" wrote: Thus far, it would seem not...

search and came across this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928890/en-us, I followed the instructions for WIN XP and problem solved.
