"ActiveX can't create object"

I have delivered a custom db to three Access 97 PC's. Two work fine but the third won't run the Switchboard Manager nor any wizard buttons on forms not the Add In Manager.
The object libraries for all three machines are indentically checked.
I have reloaded Access 97 to no avail.
Much thanks,
Tom
 
Additionally, the Error message when I attempt to open the Addin Manager, SwitchBoard Manager or any Wizard driven/generated object from the Forms Toolbox is "ActiveX can't create object".
It sounds like a missing or corrupt library - which is what the 'Help' file indicates.
The same libraries (and versions) are registered on two other machines and work perfectly.
I am concerned that some other application(s) have been loaded onto the offending machine and has rendered a .dll or .olb as useless.
When the Addin Manager is executed, I also get two other messages (the same) referring to the fact that the line is 'out of subscript range'.
No items are present in the AddIn Menu.
Hoping this serves to further clarify the circumstances.
Kind regards...
 
Hi Thom

I'm afraid I can't help but we had a user who had been using our database daily without problems then one day started getting these messages - a complete reinstall by our IT dept fixed it...

Best of luck
