Hello Eneryone,
I am having a problem. I have written a little app that will take a text
"pipe" delimited file and place all of the values in to an Excel
spreadsheet. It works great on any of my XP Pro machines. When I install the
app on a Win2K Pro machine, I get the following error message:

************** Exception Text **************
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020008): Bad variable type.

The code I am using is:

objExcel.Visible = True

System.IO.StreamReader(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() & "Collections.txt")

Dim line As String, MyArray() As String, item As String, temp As String

Dim cnt As Int32

Dim lcol As Long, lrow As Long

lrow = 1

Do

line = sr.ReadLine()

MyArray = Split(line, "|", , CompareMethod.Text)

For lcol = 1 To UBound(MyArray)

Select Case lcol

Case Is = 2

objWS.Cells(lrow, lcol) =
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(MyArray(lcol), (Len(MyArray(lcol)) - 2)) & "." &
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(MyArray(lcol), 2)

Case Is = 11

If Len(MyArray(lcol)) > 0 Then

item = MyArray(lcol)

MyArray(lcol) = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(item, 2) & "/" &
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Mid(item, 3, 2) & "/" &
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(item, 4)

objWS.Cells(lrow, lcol).Value = MyArray(lcol)

End If

Case Is = 12

If Len(MyArray(lcol)) > 0 Then

item = MyArray(lcol)

MyArray(lcol) = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(item, 2) &
"/" & Microsoft.VisualBasic.Mid(item, 3, 2) & "/" &
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(item, 4)

objWS.Cells(lrow, lcol).Value = MyArray(lcol)

End If

Case Is = 15

If Len(MyArray(lcol)) > 0 Then

MyArray(lcol) = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(item, 2) &

End If

Case Else

objWS.Cells(lrow, lcol) = MyArray(lcol)

End Select

If lcol = 2 Then

Else

objWS.Cells(lrow, lcol) = MyArray(lcol)

Next

lrow += 1

Loop Until line Is Nothing

sr.Close()

objWS.Columns.AutoFit()

objWS = Nothing

objWB = Nothing

objExcel = Nothing

If i had to guess i'd say you're using different versions of the .net
framework, or more probably, different versions of excel between the two
computers.

You may be able to change your code to use latebinding and avoid this
problem. Otherwise I think you'll need excel-version specifc COM interop
assemblies..
