AUTOCAD-vba6 : Runtime Error 429 : ActiveX Component Can't Create Object

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

I am Using a  Windows 7 based x64 system I am working on AUTOCAD 2010   with VBA 6 but  i am getting teh error "Runtime Error 429 : ActiveX Component Can't Create Object " .

I started doing this project on a 32 bit system and  it worked fine .But , since i moved to 64 bit system,I get this error whenever i execute a subroutine that  has to creat something in AUTOCAD.Please see the  code of related module below.

I have tried Autocad 2011 also but  problem does not solve.

Would appreciate your help a lot .

Best Regards,

Irfan
