ERROR USING CREATEOBJECT("WORD.APPLICATION")

[Davenz]

I need help.

I am automating word from outlook vba. When I call the command "Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")" i'm getting a runtime error "Operation Failed"

The problem is occuring on one particular machine and I know my code is correct becuase this works on other machines and when I automate msaccess from outlook on the problem machine!

Is it possible that there is a corruption with Word on the machine I am using? or is there a setting on the machine that is prevent word object from being used?

I have tried running the code via outlook vba, access, and word itself and it still errors. Any Ideas please?

OS: XP
Office: 2003
