VB5/ACAD14 CreateObject failure

Anonymous — Sun, 20 Feb 2000 19:36:03 GMT

I'm have written a program in VB5 that accesses Acad14 on Win98 through
COM automation. I use the following to instantiate the Acad component:

Set m_oAcad = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application")

This works fine on some systems with AutoCAD R14 installed but not on
others. On some machines an error message is returned saying the object
could not be created. My feeling is that something in the Windows registry
is corrupt but reinstalling AutoCAD does not fix the problem.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Make sure that you are using R14.01. Also, is there other AutoCAD software
installed on those machines?

Michael,

Would you just instantiate the VBAIDE at least once on the
problematic machines and try again your program?

Let us know if it worked.

I am using AutoCAD 14.01 on all my systems and there is no other AutoCAD on
some of the systems that I'm seeing the problem on.

Sounds as though you don't have your reference library installed properly on
the other machines.
