I am working with a program that copies data from Oracle Database and then populates a spreadsheet in Excel. The program has always worked and still works except on one computer. The program will not open excel and I get error #2147024895 Automation error. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what is causing this error? The only other time I've seen this error with our program was on a users computer who was using a database add-in named Hyperion. I've checked this user's Excel setup, and there aren't any add-ins being used that aren't being used on computers not recieving the error.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
