I keep getting this error "Run time error 429 - ActiveX component can't create" on my program when i try to run it. Right at this line of code:
Set objApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

It ran just the other day perfect, now I cannot get past this "Run time error 429 - ActiveX component can't create"
help please. here is a few lines of the code.

Private Sub cmdOpenDocument_Click()

    Set objApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")

    'OPEN PROCEDURE AND SET DOCUMENT OBJECT
    Documents.Open (Me.txtPath)
    Set objDoc = objApp.ActiveDocument

    'SET PARAGRAPHS COLLECTION OBJECT
    Set objPars = objDoc.Paragraphs

    intLineNum = 1
    intLev01 = 0
    intLev02 = 0
    intLev03 = 0
    intLev04 = 0

    'ENABLE CLOSE DOCUMENT BUTTON
    Me.cmdGetNextLine.Enabled = True
    Me.cmdGetHeader.Enabled = True
    Me.cmdCloseDocument.Enabled = True
    Me.cmdGetNextLine.SetFocus
    Me.cmdOpenDocument.Enabled = False
    Me.cmdSaveDocData.Enabled = True

    'INITIALIZE THE RANK COUNTERS
    Me.txtChRank = 1
    Me.txtSigRank = 1

End Sub

Looks like VBA code to me.

Take a look at this to have an
idea of how its done in VB2005.

You know Set objApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application") doesn't create an instance of Word, it only retrieves a reference to an already-running instance of it. If Word isn’t running, this will fail. You should include a fall-back course of action when GetObject() fails of running CreateObject().

Also, are you sure that the class name is correct (sometimes these strings change from version to version of the application you’re after)? (And also: Does this code run successfully in VB 6 on the same machine it fails on with .NET?)
