Excel 2000 and MapPoint 2006

[Builder]

The MP06 Help insists the COM add-in works with Excel 2000, but I'm having
problems.

* installed MP06 on a system with Excel 2000 already installed
* installed the COM add-in
* when I click the 'Insert MapPoint Map' item in Excel 2000 it flashes but
nothing happens


Trying code in the Excel sheet (reference set to MP 13 Object Library)

Dim oApp As Object
Set oApp = CreateObject("Mappoint.Application")

throws Err 429: ActiveX Control can't create object

(so does Set oApp = CreateObject("Mappoint.Application.NA.13"))


Any ideas?

Thanks

Your code runs for me in Excel 2000 against MP2006.

Btw, you don't need a reference using late binding, although it does no
harm.
