Hi Nick,

I cannot reproduce such problem. Here the comlete test applciation that I used for testing:

import com.jniwrapper.util.StreamUtils;
import com.jniwrapper.win32.automation.OleContainer;
import com.jniwrapper.win32.ole.types.OleVerbs;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        JFrame frame = new JFrame("TestFrame");
        frame.setSize(800, 600);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        final OleContainer container = new OleContainer();
        contentPane.add(container);

        frame.setVisible(true);

        byte[] existingDocument = StreamUtils.readBytes(new FileInputStream("c:\\Test.dat"));
        if (existingDocument != null && existingDocument.length > 0) {
            container.load(existingDocument);
        }
        container.doVerb(OleVerbs.SHOW);

        frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent) {
                container.destroyObject();
            }
        });

    }
}

The "c:
Test.dat" is the file that contains serialized document. In order to create such file you can simply use the following example:

        container.open(new File("c:\\Test.doc"));
        container.save(new FileOutputStream(new File("c:\\Test.dat")));

Does this sample work in your case?

Also, what version of ComfyJ do you use?
