VB5 CreateObject("Word.Basic") Doesn't Work for me
I'm creating an OLE interface with Word97 and I when I set an Object = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
"Run time Error 429 "
"Active X component can't create object"
I've referenced the Microsoft Office Library. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your response chualk's.
That's how I had it before and I still get the error. I'm referencing the Word 8.0 Object library as well as the VB Visual Basic for Applications extensibility.

It's strange that chualk's code didn't work for you, it worked on my machine.
Perhaps you have a bod install of Word (or VB?).

Instead of "Word.Basic" ,You just try "Word.Application" &
give a reference to Word 8.0 Object library in reference dialog box.

Sub command1_click()
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("word.basic")
xlApp.AppShow
Remember to set xlapp = nothing after you do not need the object.
