Creating Word Object reference fails

[Jack]

I have one workstation that the following line of code fails returning a
could not create object.

Set objWordPub = CreateObject("Word.Application")
I have also tried it as:
Set objWordPub = CreateObject("Word.Application", "localhost")

I have been using this call for years and never seen it fail. Could it be a
security setting? The installation is on Windows XP and Office 2003
(11.6568.6568 SP2).

Hello Jack,

I understand that when you using Word Automation to create a Word
application object and you get the error message:

ActiveX component can't create object

If I misunderstood your concern, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my research, you may refer this KB article to troubleshoot.

You receive run-time error 429 when you automate Office applications

Hope this helps.
