Activex cant create object

[SeanHagerty]

Whenever I try to create a database, I get a message saying "ActiveX can't create object." Help! What do I need to do to get past this point and actually create a database. It only happens if I use the wizard, and I desperately want to use it. Please reply to my email address with any help.

Thanks

Hi Sean,

What version of Access?

Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0007.htm

 

[SeanHagerty]

It is Access 2002. Thanks for your prompt reply.

Sean

Thanks. Did the article help or are you still having problems?

The fix recommended did not help.. Anymore suggestions?

Hi Sean,

This error typically means that some required dll is not registered. You
might want to try repairing your A2002 installation (Help->Detect & Repair).
If that doesn't work (and depending on how urgent this is for you) you may
want to uninstall/reinstall Access. I normally don't recommend this but if
Detect & Repair can't fix the problem that might be the only way.
