Why would I get a message saying ActiveX can't create object?

ActiveX
Hi Mark,
Ummm... Maybe because ActiveX cannot create it? How about giving us some more information? Error message(s)? What is the object that it cannot create? Code that causes the error? What you are doing when the error happens? Other pertinant information? Clifford Bass "Mark" wrote: Why would I get a message saying ActiveX can't create object? |

All I'm doing is trying to create a switchboard. I go to Tools-Database
Utilities-Switchboard Manager and I get a "ActiveX component can't create object". I am new to this but I have done it before without difficulty. I don't work with Access much at all and I'm asking questions. I don't know if the system I am trying to do it on has security settings that could cause it or not.

Hi Mark,
Okay, this is helpful for dealing with the error. Let's start with checking to see if the problem is specific to the one database or happens regardless of the database. Create a new database and try to create a switchboard in it. Does that work? If yes, then the problem is specific to the one database. I am going to assume that that is the case; let me know if it is not. On that assumption: Try a compact and repair if you have not already tried it. If that does not help, try a decompile/recompile (see http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/decompile.htm for details. If that does not work, check your references to see if any are missing. You will find them in the VBA Editor under the Tools menu. If any are reported as missing make a note of them. Then uncheck them and try a compile to see if they are even needed. If so, go back into the references and see if you can find and check them, or maybe newer versions of them. If successful, try creating your switchboard. Does it work? If not, try creating an entirely new database and importing all of the current database's objects into it. Now can you create a switchboard?

Check your references for any marked "missing"
