Error - Number:429:' GetObject. ActiveX Component Can't Create Object
Jan 4, 2007
VBScript code snippet below is being used in an ASP page but the call to GetObject never attaches to a running instance of Excel. Since visible property is set to True, I can see the instances accumulate in the TaskBar each time the ASP page is called, so there are obviously instances to attach to.
Dim excelApp
Set excelApp = Server.GetObject(,"Excel.Application")
If (err <> 0) Then
Set excelApp = Server.CreateObject("Excel.Application")
End If
excelApp.UserControl = True
excelApp.Visible = True
excelApp = Nothing
GetObject errors out with the following error: Error - Number:429 Source:Microsoft VBScript runtime error Description:ActiveX component can't create object

I am trying to generate excel report output from access by click of a button. Part of the code is as follows:
Dim lngColumn As Long
Dim xlx As Object, xlw As Object, xlc As Object
Dim DBS As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim blnEXCEL As Boolean, blnHeaderRow As Boolean
blnEXCEL = False
'If we do not want the first row we set Header to false
blnHeaderRow = False
'Establish an EXCEL application object
On Error Resume Next
Set xlx = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set xlx = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
blnEXCEL = True
End If
Err.Clear
I worked on development on a server and worked fine. However when I have moved the code and database to the desktop of mine I am having
the following error in the line
Set xlx = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
Run-time error '429'
ActiveX component can't create object

Following bit of code runs fine if placed in Word VBA:
Code:
Public Sub TaskUsageInExcel()
Dim tsk As Task
For Each tsk In Tasks 'Gives RTE 429 when run through Excel
Debug.Print tsk.Name
Next tsk
End Sub
So I referenced 'Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library' in Excel and ran the code and it gave me this error 429. Noticeable part was, no instance of word was running at that time.
So I modified the code as below:
Code:
Public Sub TaskUsageInExcel2()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim tsk As Task
[Code]....

I have some VBA code that in one portion of it an Outlook e-mail is created and the active workbook is attached and sent. This code used to work on Excel & Outlook 2003, but now in Excel & Outlook 2007 I'm getting the error:
Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object
and is stopping on the line
Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
FY If I comment out the Set OutApp... and If OutApp.... lines and uncomment the Set OutApp create object line, I still get the same error.
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim SigString As String
Dim Signature As String
'Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If OutApp Is Nothing Then Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

I keep getting this error message: Error 429: ActiveX Component Cannot Create Object
I fond a site that explained the problem: "If Microsoft Excel 97 is installed after an application created with Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 that uses DAO is installed, Excel does not add the DAO design-time licensing key. This licensing key is required by Excel, but is not required by applications created with Visual Basic."
But I can not figure out how to fix it. I changed the registry and added the licensing key, but I still got the error.

I have an excel application which works extremely well in one single instancec. It has a bunch of ActiveX control objects on the worksheet. Generally I call them by convention Sheet1.Cmd.show.
I have since experimented with having multiple instances of excel running on the machine. I start to notice something very strange. The first instance I open and run all the activeX buttons are all clickable. As soon as I open a second instance of an excel program all the activeX buttons on the worksheet are not even clickable. They are enabled by my program, but not clickable as if they were not there at all.
I also try open a normal excel workbook then followed by my excel program in a second instance. Even though the first excel file does not utilize any activeX objects all my buttons on the subsequent instance are not clickable.
The weird thing is all my activeX control objects on a userforms are still clickable and call to all my planned events in my program. It is just all the activeX controls on my worksheet that do not have any reaction at all.
I always think when one opens a new instance it will be totally indpendent and would even occupy another CPU if my machine has more in it. If they are truly independent then I am at a loss to understand why my activeX controls would fail to work at all.

I wrote this code to update(export) 3 cells data to an external spreadsheet. Both spreadsheets are running. I wrote the code with both spreadsheets on one computer just to make sure I had it working. Which it does(like a charm). But when I try to run this over a network there's where it gets into trouble.
Let me explain my limited understanding of how GetObject works:
GetObject() is a two step process
1. It first looks for a running instance that was identified by the strPath. If it finds that running instance then it sets a reference to it.
2. If the first step fails to see the instance as running then it attempts to retrieve's the file and open it on the computer that made the call.
How I have explained steps 1 and 2 is exactly the behavior that I am witnessing which is certainly not what I'm looking for. Step 1 is failing and step 2 does work. Opening an other instance of an already running spreadsheet is unacceptable. I need it to work in the same manner as it did when both spreadsheets were on one computer.
To correct this let me share with you where my reading has taken me:
1.Possible NetWork issue:
I don't think so....It does retrieve the file that GetObject called. But I do wonder if I should set this up on a mapped network drive rather just thru the network.
2. Register as a running instance on the ROT(Running Object Table)
My understanding is the spreadsheet has to lose focus before it is registered. As far as knowing how to determine whether it has been registered I wouldn't have clue. In my situation this just defines the order in which things get launched in the morning. There are other applications launched so to insure Excel loses focus.
3.Launch Microsoft Excel, giving it focus:

Shell "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeExcel.EXE", _

I created a macro to create command buttons on sheet 1 of my worksheet. The created buttons using oleobject and class type: forms.commandbutton1, creates an object with no properties on the sheet (i.e. if you right click on it excel thinks it's an object and not a control.) Is there a way to create it as a control?

whether I can handle errors in a way that tells me which object caused the error?
For example if a userform has two combobox's and one causes an error, can I return to a message box containing the name of the object (combobox1 or combobox2)?
I have tried returning err.source but I am either not using it correctly or it isn't intended to be used this way.

I am having difficulty getting a form to work the way that I would like it to work. I have a form that is used to display questions that my students will be answering. The form also is used to put the answers into a worksheet. I have 2 sheets. Sheet2 has the questions, student answers, and correct answers. Sheet1 is used to indicate correct answers and to keep track of percentage correct. I am fairly new to VB. I have 2 pieces of code that I am going to post. The first one works and the second one doesn't.
This is in the "This Workbook" section and it works.
Option Explicit
Public intNoQ As Integer
Public strNoQ As String
Public NumberofQuestions As Integer
Dim StudentName As String
Dim InputBoxAnswer As String
Public Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Visible = False 'Hide Excel
Load Questions
Load NumberCorrect
NumberofQuestions = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("K3").Value
For intNoQ = 1 To NumberofQuestions
strNoQ = VBA.CStr(intNoQ)
If intNoQ = 1 Then
Questions.Controls("QuestionNumberBox").Value = "Question#" & strNoQ
Questions.Controls("QuestionBox").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B1").Value
End If
Questions.Controls("CorrectBox" & strNoQ).Visible = True
Questions.Controls("CorrectLabel" & strNoQ).Visible = True
Next intNoQ...............

I want to be able to call one user form from multiple ActiveX command buttons. The problem is, the number of command buttons depends on user input on another worksheet, so it's variable.
I've renamed all of the command buttons so they are named "CommandButton" & i, where i is an integer between 1 and, say, 200. I want each of these buttons to direct to the same UserForm where additional information can be entered.
I can't think of a way around the event-handler procedure name.
Sub [Command Button Name]_Click
to call the User Form. I won't know the command button names, because I won't know how many there are (max i) until the user inputs.
Basically, I want to create a For loop through the max i and have the event-handlers call the user form

I have a relatively complex report that I work with and a worksheet is no longer required. I have deleted the worksheet and reference to it hwoever when running the macro to pull all the data, it gets to the summary of all the data and i get the Run Time Error 1004 Application-defined or object-defined error pop up. ON reviewing it, it is on this line ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("a1:a" & Range_Height).Select of the below code...
VB:
Sub GetRangeName()
Sheets("TOTAL").Select

use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window.

For some reason my form won't open when the workbook is opened. I get an error message "run time error '424' object required" (which happens when I have Form1.show in the BOTH workbook_open event and the userform_initialize event (oops)). When I removed form1.show from the userform_initialize I don't get an error but I also get no form. I recall having this issue before but I can't recall how to fix it.
Can I call the userform_initialize event from the workbook open event to get around this successfully and properly?

I keep getting a Run Time Error 1004 (Application Defined or Object Defined Error) when my sub reaches this line:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUM(D222,D224,D226,D227,D229,...)"
In the actual line of code the "..." above is another 20-30 or so cells in column "D". Probably no more than 150-170 characters in the line.
If I remove half of the cell range names it works, but I need all of the cell ranges for the equation.

I'm trying to open a file and perform various tasks. This is the structure:
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlWb As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(BackupFile) ' backupfile evaluates to c: esting est.xls
xlWb.Worksheets(1).Activate
Debug.Print xlWb.Worksheets.Count
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In xlWb.Worksheets
Debug.Print ws.Name
ws.Activate
Next ws
I think I'm totally missing something. The above works, except for the loop. None of the names show up in my immediate window, and none of the worksheets are activated. xlWB evaluates to nothing, which is where the problem has to be...but why would my first .Activate and Debug.Print lines work? Also, If I declare xlWb as Workbook then absolutely nothing works after the file is opened.
Basically what I want to do is open the file, do a bunch of a stuff with it, then save and close it. I have this all working without creating another object, but the opening of the file is still visible to the user. Seems like turning off ScreenUpdating doesn't truly work.
