ActiveX component can't create object

[SonicBoomBand]

I have searched this forum and found many people with the same problem, but there have been no conclusive answers to the problem. So I thought I would give it another shot.

Firstly, my PC has just been rebuilt. The line of code written below used to work and works on all other PC's in the office, but for some reason it doesn't work on mine anymore.

set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

filesys is dim'd as object.
I get this dreaded Error 429; "ActiveX component can't create object", that nobody seems to know next to nothing about.

I have checked the references, had our technical support geezers looking at it and searched the web for some sort of answer to the mystery, but to no avail.

If there's somebody out there keeping this knowledge to themselves, please share it with me, I am desperate!!.

Cheers
Andy

Hi,

You may have a .dll missing in the VB library. Reload the MS Office application that you are using.

You may have to reinstall MS Windows Script:

Hope This Helps, PH.

You need a reference in your code to Microsoft Scripting Runtime: C:\WINDOWS\System32\scrrun.dll
