Word.application gives me an error... please help!

[Ayac]

Hi All!

I have this little code to invoke Word and load a document into it by clicking on the link. This worked fine so far but I found a computer that gives the following error message:

"ClassFactory cannot supply requested class"

That machine have som extra patches and goodies installed onto it, so that might affect the system's reaction. There is no problem if I use Excel.Application but Word breaks it:

...
Dim objApp
Set objApp = CreateObject("Word.application")
objApp.Visible = true
objApp.documents.Open AppURL
Set objApp = Nothing
...

Anyone would know how to fix this?

Try to install the latest (5.6) MS scripting engine:

Hope This Helps, PH.
