Error message states: OLE method failed: "Problem with OLE Argument names" when exporting

Question & Answer


Question

What can I do when I receive the error message, "OLE method failed: Problem with OLE Argument names" when exporting from IBM Rational DOORS to Microsoft Office?

Cause

This error is caused when the export is being used via remote desktop and/or terminal server

Answer

To move past this error:

  1. Perform the export via remote desktop without a shared Clipboard,
  2. Or, export directly from a local client.
  3. Double the maximum paging file size. You will have to reboot the machine after you have adjusted that size for the changes to take effect.
