Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
When I tried to edit a graph in PowerPoint 2003, I get the following 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." Note, this does not happen on all the graphs, just some of them. Also, these graphs can edit in other versions of PowerPoint. Any ideas?

Austin,
I just installed the updates. It did not solve the problem. What would be step two?

Do you know why only some of the graphs would have this error?

Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
No, I don't. But I'd probably start with disabling the Norton AntiVirus
Office plug-in, if you use Norton/Symantec, and reregistering MS Graph. Those are easy things to do, and they don't take a whole lot of effort or mess anything up on the system. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Ernie Wong" wrote in message ...

Server Application Error When Trying To Edit Graphs
In article , Ernie Wong
wrote: Echo S Do you know why only some of the graphs would have this error? It's hard to say w/o seeing the behavior on the computer and having a look at the presentation, but a few possibilities a - Some of the graphs are from MSGraph, some from other apps like Excel. See what program opens when you doubleclick the ones you CAN edit. - Some of the graphs have been ungrouped then regrouped so are now PPT shapes, not really graphs (but if that were the case, doubleclicking wouldn't let you edit them at all)

This may sound like a no brainer, but from experience, I can say, Verify MS
