Hi,

Something's broke..

dim x as object

set x = CreateObject("Word.Application") 'generates error 424 "Object
Required".  I have Word 8 checked in References...  it creates an instance
of Winword but the object is invalid

TIA
     -Larry-

Hi Larry,

    The onl case when I've seen this come up is when you define x as variant
and omit the keyword Set.  While  CreateObject will do it's job,  the next
statement referring to x will generate the error.  Obviously,  you're not
doing this.

    Have you tried this in a new mdb?  What if you uncheck the reference?
(This code won't require a ref to Word library)

HTH
