Error 429 after XP Pro SP2 install

[Ian B]

Hi all

I have a VB6 dll which is referenced in a Word (2003 SP2) VBA module and
performs various actions..
This worked fine until I upgraded XP Pro to SP2 ( I was a very late
upgrader)
Now I get the "error 429 ActiveX component can't create" message when trying
to access the dll functions.
The dll is correctly registered, and when creating the VBA code to call the
dll functions, the intellisense shows all the available functions, which
indicates that Word is seeing and responding to the dll.

Google is full of fixes, but they mostly point to registration problems and
I think I have tried most of them.
I also put the same code in an MS Access VBA module and it works fine
there!!

What puzzles me is that SP2 seems to have initiated the problem.
Look forward to any suggestions.

TIA

Hmmm
Maybe my apologies to MS and SP2.
I just created a new template with the identical code and it works without
this error. I now get an error 430 further on in the dll code where it is
running a Word Macro, but that's a whole new ball game.
