Run Time Error 429

[rashar via AccessMonster.com]

Hello,

I am getting run time Error at the following lines

Set AcroApps = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set AVDocs = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")

I am currently using Adobe reader 7.0.5 with Access 2003, and have
registered the following from Tools / ActiveX Controls...

AcroIEHelper.dll
AcroPDF.dll
GbDetect.dll
pdfshell.dll

Is there something that I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

You might be better off asking in one of the forums at
http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/ or checking the Adobe Knowledgebase at
http://www.adobe.com/support/ The error you're encountering implies that
those aren't the correct objects to be using for automation, and they should
be able to tell you how to automate Adobe Reader (if, in fact, it's
possible)

The fact that it shows up in the list of ActiveX Controls doesn't actually
mean that it can be automated. And even if it can be automated, it's
possible that it can't be automated from Access: Access tends to be far
pickier about what it requires in an ActiveX control. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=202104 for details (don't worry if you're
not using Access 2000: the article actually applies to all versions of
Access)
