PUB2000: "Cannot Update Object" Message After Opening Publisher
This article was previously published under Q207630
If you open a publication that contains a link to another file, and the
other file has been moved, deleted, or renamed, you will receive the
following error message:
Cannot update object.
Windows may be low on memory or disk space, or an object may not
be correctly registered.
When you open a publication, Publisher tries to update all linked objects.
If an update fails for any reason, you get the error message. Publisher
indicates that the update failed but does not indicate why it failed.
If you receive the error message mentioned in the Symptoms section of this article, try double-clicking each linked
object in your publication. If the linked file is present, the file will
open. If the linked file is missing, you will see the following message:
File link error.
This publication contains information that is linked to another file,
but Publisher cannot find that file. You may have deleted or moved
the file or the program you created it in. For information on linked
files, press F1 now.
In Publisher, click
Links on the
Edit menu. Click
Change Source to select another object of the same type to replace the linked object.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Publisher 2000 Standard Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
