 Runtime error 429 when creating Word object Hi
I'm using vb5 and office 95 - yes, 95! I'm trying to create a word object -
CreateObject(word.application) but I get 'Runtime 429 - Activex component
can't create object'
This works fine on my development machine (Win98/Office95) and I can
distribute it to other Win98 machines, and even Win95 release B, but it
always fails on Win95 release A machines.
Does anyone know of an easy fix - I'm getting desperate!
Thanks
Gary

Runtime error 429 when creating Word object I had a similar problem with an application developed on a Win2000 / Office
2000 machine. Got the same error when trying to run it on a W98 machine. Found
that the problem was that when I created the setup program it wanted to use
MSWORD9.OLB. I changed SETUP.LST to MSWORD8.OLB, deleted MSWORD9.OLB from the
users computer, reinstalled and it worked fine. Maybe you have a similar
problem?

Runtime error 429 when creating Word object Hello Gary:
I have a few questions that may clarify the issue. First, how
are you distributing the VB app? Are you using the PDW? (I assume this is
VB6) I think that Win98 already has the VB runtime libraries as part of
the OS, but I am not sure. Try using the PDW to distribute a dummy program
that just tries to access the Word.Application object. Do all machines
have the same version of Word? (Word97 has a markedly different ActiveX
structure then does Word95)
