Sometimes getting Error '429': ActiveX component can't create obje

[sudhakar]

Hi
I'm creating an application that plays .pps files sequentially. The
application is able to play the files sometimes but it fails for some files.
I'm using Powerpoint object library in Visual Basic and following line of
code works well sometimes but sometimes it throws the Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object.

Set objPPT = New PowerPoint.Application

I'm instantiating the objPPT(with above line) for running each file in the
sequence. So, the above line executes fine sometimes, but its failing with
the exception sometimes.
Appreciate if anybody can help me out. I'm using Windows 2000 Professional,
VB6 and Office 2000.

Thanks
Sudhakar.

Sudhakar,
Without more of the code it's hard to ascertain the cause. Have you tried
using CreateObject instead of the new keyword?
