Help: ActiveX component can't create

M

Matthew Gibbons

My installation of Microsoft Access 2003 (from Microsoft Office 2003
Professional) has stopped working correctly. When I try to create a new
project from new data, I get a dialog box with the message 'ActiveX
component can't create'. I have tried the 'Detect and repair' command from
the help menu, but that fails with the message 'Installation terminated
prematurely'. I have tried to re-install from setup, but with the same
problem. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing both Access and the
complete Office suite, but am left with the same problem.

I work with Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and so know that this was working
previously. I have searched the KB and found a number of articles for a
similar problem with Microsoft Office 2000, all related to problems with
ODBC (which makes sense, since I am experiencing the problem with Access
connecting to the SQL server). I have followed the steps in the KBs, with no
positve results.

Can anyone help?

Regards,
Matthew
