Automation Error

[thebarslider]

Every time i start Microsoft Word 98, i get this error message:

'-2147467259
(80004005)';
Automation Error

I am unsure what this means. Could anyone possibly explain this error or point me in the direction of some other help on this topic.

Thank you for your kind help.

Mark.

Does it happen when opening a specific document? If so, then try accessing the code in that document.

If not, then maybe your Normal.dot file contains code for some reason. Unless someone put that code there for a purpose, it shouldn't be there, and you should delete the code from Normal.doc.

You may need to disable macros in order to open Word up properly and access the code. If you don't get that option, set the macro security level to High.

I'm assuming you know how to access code, set security levels, and find and edit the Normal.dot document. Please let me know if you need further explanation with any of this.
