Error Message: Run-time Error 429: ActiveX Component Can't Create Object

[Dale C Gray]

Hi all, hope someone else has been able to resolve this one: Error Message:
Run-time Error 429: ActiveX Component Can't Create Object.

The application is a 97 MsAccess FE/BE database being opened in Access 2000:
5 workstations with Access 2000 open and run the FE app without the error
1 workstation with Access 2000 and Access 97 installed, separate directories
etc open and run the app without the error
**1 workstation with Access 2000 and Access 97 installed, separate
directories etc that open and fail with the error**

We have reinstalled Access 2000 on the problem machine as well as
re-registered the 36dao library, neither solution has fixed the
problem....the code halts when making an outside call to get a word
application.

On Error GoTo CreateWordApp
Set WordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
On Error Resume Next

I could understand if this problem was reproducible on any other machine,
but ironically its only on the one machine: "the developer's" how ironic!!
Runs fine on the home workstation...thats how I stumbled accross this...test
at home everything is fine, test at work..error except on other
workstations??

Any hints? pointers to get me in the right direction, all references are
there...

Thanks in advance

I am sure you done the basic things like re-boot the computer etc.

Assuming your word code is late binding, I would then try re-installing
word.

It is sounds like word is not registered correctly on the pc....
