PowerPoint Open Error -2147467259

[gogmu]

I have an application that works fine in VB6 and Office 2003, which I'm migrating to Office 2007. The application uses Office Automation to generate PowerPoint slides.

I have compiled the application on my local machine which has Office 2007 installed and moved it to a server with Office 2007. I have setup DCOMCNFG to start up PowerPoint with a local userid with admin privileges.

The application is able to start PowerPoint, but fails when opening an existing file. The exact error is "-2147467259 Method '~' of object '~' failed".

Set pptPresentation = pptApp.Presentations.Open("D:\inetpub\

http://WWWRoot\Templates\Template1.ppt",

msoTrue, msoFalse, msoFalse)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the PC exhibiting this error have Office2007 too ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

More background: I should have mentioned that a front end application calls the VB6 Office Automation DLL on the server.

Yes. The server contains Office 2007.

How about

Set pptPresentation = GetObject("D:\inetpub\

http://WWWRoot\Templates\Template1.ppt")
