    Question Automation Error; Unspecified Error

    I am havign issues with multiple users on Excel 2007. There may have been a recent update that is causing these issues.

    All of them are getting an error either when opening Excel or when working on VBA:


    Microsoft Visual Basic
    ---------------------
    Automation error
    Unspecified error


    One of my users cannot save files either; it throws an error that unfortunately I have not written down.

    Has anyone seen similar behavior and can point me in the right direction?

    I ran into this problem, and after spending a couple frustrating hours on it (!), found the cause and the fix. Turns out you need to un-register and re-register the mscomctl.ocx file.

    Here's some additional info:
