<div class="symptoms_section">

SYMPTOMS
A non-running embedded object is resized in an OLE 2.01 container application. The next time the object is run, it snaps back to its previous size.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
The container application failed to call IOleObject::SetExtent after calling OleRun.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
IOleObject::SetExtent can be called only when an object is running. If an object is resized while it is not running, the container application should take note of this. When the object is subsequently run, the container should then inform the object of its new size by calling IOleObject::SetExtent.

<div class="status_section">

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
