I create an object in Visual Basic 5 of class Excel.Application.8

Excel is installed correctly, and it runs as I expected.
When creating an object in VB5, using the following code

Dim obj as object
Set obj = createobject("Excel.Application.8")

it takes 30 seconds before the object is created, while start Excel from the
Start Menu takes less than 5 seconds.
On other computers, it takes less than 3 seconds.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

That should improve it a little.

define the object like this:
Dim obj as Excel.Application

this is called 'early binding' and is faster.

try it to see if it makes a difference
