Hi All;

I have an application that makes heavy use of Microsoft Word for document automation (thanks Tamar!). It works great on over 50 other machines, but just one of them is giving me fits. Whenever I issue the following:
oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
I get a 1426 error:

The OLE Error reports 0x800700e: The specified module could not be found.

The machine has Office 2003 installed and Word starts from the Program menu without any fuss or bother. I've gone into Words security settings and knocked it down to no macro security and always trust a VB program, but still the error persists. Just to see if automation was being prevented for some reason, I created an instance of "Excel.Application" - worked fine!

Does anyone have an idea of where I could look to resolve this one? Any solutions, pointers or supportive words would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
~Erik Folley
