run-time error -2147212704 (80042260)
Posted on 2016-10-05
I've been using a VBA script (embedded in an Excel spreadsheet) to create HTML pages to add images to a photo website. The VBA script controls Photoshop CS2 and Microsoft Word. (I'm using CS2 because it's a 16-bit app. Newer versions of PHotoshop that I have are 32-bit and aren't callable from VBA.) The spreadsheet with embedded script is attached.
Anyway, I've been using this flawlessly for years and then one day about a month ago it simply stopped working. Usually this is caused by an update to Photoshop CC 2015; and in the past I fixed it by reinstalling CS2 (which restores whatever files got clobbered). Not this time.
The error I get is "run-time error -2147212704 (80042260)". When I hit "Debug" this line is highlighted: Call objapp.ExecuteAction(id153
Windows 7 Pro, up-to-date
Microsoft Office 2010
Adobe Photoshop CS2
Thanks for any insights! Gary

Did you try completely uninstalling all Adobe products and reinstall CS2? If it's a Photoshop-related issue, that should probably fix it, based on your original comments. If it doesn't, I'd wonder if the issue was something else.
The issue is really that the solution is frozen in time - a legacy solution.
For legacy solution issues, I typically setup a VM with the required software, make sure it works and periodically save a backup copy of the working image. Windows 10 Pro conveniently has Hyper-V available. That at least keeps things productive when issues arise.
Good luck!

The VM is a brilliant and practical suggestion. I'm already running Oracle Virtualbox with Ubuntu so it shouldn't be much trouble to load a new Win7 with just the pieces I need. I'll let you know how that goes. I think this will save a lot of time in the long run. :-)
