Question:

Christian: I got the following error message: "OLE Error in SuperMemo. Server execution failed"


Answer:

Server is the application you are trying to use with SuperMemo (e.g. MS Word, Excel, etc.). If for any reasons this application cannot respond to standard OLE commands, you will get this error. Unfortunately, SuperMemo cannot do much about it. Sometimes restarting Windows might help (if the OLE server has crashed recently). Some applications are notoriously unstable and cannot be effectively used via OLE. You could then try to use HTML or Binary component for the same purpose (the latter can use the same server by a less risky parameter call)
