SYMPTOMS
If your program uses the IOleObject::IsUpToDate function to check whether or not an object is up to date, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following message if the object source file is missing:

D:\customer\test is not accessible.

This folder was moved or removed.

If you run the same program on a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based computer, you do not receive the error message even if the object source file is missing.



CAUSE
When the program calls the IOleObject::IsUpToDate function, the OLE32 FileMoniker function calls the Shell32 function internally with the SLR_NO_UI flag set to resolve the links. However, the Windows 2000 Shell32.dll file does not handle the SLR_NO_UI flag properly and generates the error message.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
