Automation error

M

Mike Barton

This isn't, strictly speaking, an issue of automation (as in running
applications remotely). However, a VBA Excel based program is having an
'Automation Error' problem on a Windows XP/Excel XP machine.

All goes smoothly until the setup code reaches the procedure to add
commandbar buttons to a custom commandbar. The first line of code adds the
caption without problem but the second line that adds the "OnAction"
property generates the following error:
-2.147467E+09:Automation error
Unspecified error

The same code runs OK on other PCs (& Macs). I am not sure if there are
other users using the same platform & application combination (Windows XP &
Excel XP) but I suspect it is a problem with the user¹s Windows setup.

However, I would be grateful if anyone could suggest where the problem lies.

Many thanks,

Mike Barton
