Summary :
This SAP Note addresses a GUI error possibly leading to a CNT OL_ERROR when accessing applications using ActiveX controls or OLE automation. The recommended solution involves enabling GUI automation trace to pinpoint error sources. Users should navigate to the "Adjust local layout" menu, select "Options," then access the "Trace" tab, or the "Trace" tree entry for versions starting from SAP GUI 7.20. Check "Automation" and "Control Manager" in the session traces options, specify the trace file path, and enable tracing. It is crucial to disable tracing post-analysis to prevent excessive logging.
