    Macro to create outlook task will run on my desktop but not my laptop

    Hi,

    I have a VBA macro that creates a task in outlook based on information in an Excel workbook. It runs perfectly on my desktop but it will not run on my laptop, the . Both are running office 365 outlook 2016, any assistance would be really appreciated. The macro hangs up at line "Set objOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")"

    Run-time error '429'
    Active x component can't create object

    Hello Calais33,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    This code fragment has declaration conflicts. You are using both early and late binding to Outlook which will throw an error regardless of which machine it is run on. Please provide the code you actually using and not a condensed version.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
    2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Star below the post.
    3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.
