Autodesk Inventor

Hi!

My VBA macro buttons have stopped working today. They worked fine yesterday, before MS sent me a busload of updates (14 to be exact)- among them SP3 for Office 2007.

When I press any of my buttons nothing happens, but if I open VBA editor and try Debug - Compile, I get "Compile error: Automation error" on every instance referring to any form of Inventor "Document" like "DrawingDocument", "PartDocument" etc.

Anyone else seen this?

My system is a Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, MS Office 2007, Inventor 2012

Appreciate any feedback!!

Best regards

I solved my issue by following the advice found here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11971358/excel-vba-automation-errors-due-to-office-service-pack-3...

For Windows 7 - remember to run cmd.exe "as administrator", and then:

for 32bit Windows systems:

regsvr32 -u c:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx

for 64bit Windows systems:

regsvr32 -u c:\windows\syswow64\mscomctl.ocx

regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\mscomctl.ocx

Fixed my problems! :-)

Installing office only works temporary After the updates the problem returns.

Second time in two weeks I had to apply this work-around of de-registering and re-registering the OCX's... Those stupid Office-updates...

Made a batch-file with the given DOS-commands so I don't have to type the commands in the DOS-prompt everytime MS Office comes with updates...
