psshell Run-Time error '91'
Object variable or With block variable not set.

I've just spent an hour getting nowhere on a machine with this error. Any
clues appreciated.
The application the person is using, (and has been relatively
unproblematic), for several months sold by "Megger" and it's main function
is to interface with electrical / electronic test equipment also
maunfactured by Megger. But that feature is not being used, he's also using
PDA's and Megger PDA software for his workmen to fill in simple forms, which
are then transferred into the PC, for storage and printing etc.
Also relevant, perhaps, is that, (after interrogation!), I don't think that
he's installed or uninstalled, or changed his system in a way that would
have produced this software fault. ...though I'm begnning to wonder about
that.

Things I've tried meddled with !
Googled and found references to "spyware" with the same executable filename
as the one that's causing problems loading on this machine but, am pretty
sure the fault's not in that area,
e.g. security layers / false positives aren't interfering with this porgram
launching.

Wondering if a damaged file was the cause, I over-installed the program -
that didn't fix it. I did notice that the application is using MDAC but,
again, I don't think anything has changed.
... now that I'm no longer in front of that machine ...I wonder if he's
installed something that put in an older copy of Visual Basic

....wandering around in the dark !

When you "overinstalled it" did you "remove/install"? If not, try that,
and delete any leftover folders prior to the reinstall.
 
Thank Bob,

Megger tech. led him through just what you advised, and did exactly what I
was afraid to do when I had a quick look at it. ...mainly because I wasn't
quite sure if the application was indexing "user created" files or stuffing
them into e.g. a *.dbx file...if you see what I mean.

....anyway, they did it !

MUCH appreciated your taking time to reply.
