FW: Error message when using import from the GUI

["Smith, Stephen" <SmithSJ@mar.dfo-mpo.gc.ca>]

In addition here is the result of using traceback()

8: eval(action, sys.parent())
7: doErrorAction("Problem in ole.obj@timestamp <- get(\"**OLE.session...: Invalid use of @<- with a \"NULL\" object w/o representation",

6: ole.obj@timestamp <- get("**OLE.session.marker**", where = 0)
5: get.ocx.object("impdatdlg.PreviewColsGrid", cbGetDialogId(df))

Subject:        Error message when using import from the GUI

Every time I click on import in S-PLUS (Enterprise Developer Version 8.0.4, Build: B8502) I get the following:

Unable to subclass property id '8517' because OCX prog id is either invalid or the OCX has not been properly registered.

Unable to subclass property id '8587' because OCX prog id is either invalid or the OCX has not been properly registered.

After choosing an excel file using the import dialogue the following appears:

Problem in ole.obj@timestamp <- get("**OLE.session.marker**", where = 0): Invalid use of @<- with a "NULL" object w/o representation

Use traceback() to see the call stack

The imported usually (but not always) appears to import correctly.  Any ideas on what is causing this?

Thanks,

Stephen
