Hi,i am getting the error

Error 208 Cannot create automation object when trying to

create word object using

wordObj = CreateObject(“Word.Application”)

I am using windows xp and office 2003.

I have tested the code in windows 2000 which is working fine.

Does anybody know a solution or a way around for this?

if word started and your script failed but word did not close this may be why you’re getting the error. Check task manager for word.exe and kill it if it’s running. You should add an error trap to your code to close word if an error is encountered. Also, if you’ve never opened word for the first time on the XP machine then do so now then try your script again.
