I have Users (including myself) that cannot open documents in OnBase with a .DOC file type extension.  We are receiving the Ole Viewer Information error - "No viewer can be created for this file type, at this time."  I am able to open the document in Windows Explorer (opens with Microsoft Word).  The document type is configured with a the default file format for "Image file format".  I have Microsoft Word 2010 on my Workstation.  Since some of the Users can open the documents, I am assuming that the problem is due to work stations having different versions of Microsoft Word.  What can I do to fix this problem?

Hi D'aunn,

What version of OnBase are you currently using and which Client are you refering to?

Thank you,

D'aunn,

Can you look at the properties of the document and note what File Format number is displayed? Also within this dialog does the file have a .doc extension for the disk group path?

Thanks,

The file format number is 12, and the extension is .DOC
