I unchecked the controls and set to default and restarted and I can still create the object OK, so obviously I'm missing something. Perhaps I performed a step with out knowing?? I'm quite embarrassed about this.

Klaus,

I have an idea...create a blank form and from the tools toolbar, select the library button (next to the arrow) and select ActiveX Controls.

You should see two buttons with envelopes. One has a key (session) and one has a paper clip and note (message). Click on each of these and create one of each on your new form. Then issue the CREATEOBJECT and see what happens.

I'm grabbing at straws here...
