Automation Errors

Hello,

I have created some macros in the VB editor. Part of the macros go out
and get a selection of rows and columns. The macro works fine on my
computer.

On another computer the macro refuses to open correctly saying
"Autoation Error, Unspecified Error". Once the macro is loaded I try
to run a routine and get the same error for a line that has a line like
Set ARange = Sheet1.Range ("A1", "B2") and end up getting the same
error.

Is the OLE ready to go when Excel is launched or does it have to be
enabled somehow?

Thanks.

Mike

It is ready to go. The error is probably a combination of your code and the
environment you are operating in (on the other machine). Something like
this would be hard to debug without having access to the machine to try to
discover where the problem is. You might have to go to that machine and
start commenting out lines until the error goes away. As a start, I would
run it until I get an error, then go into the VBE and in the menu,
Tools=>References and see if any reference is marked as MISSING. If so, you
need to fix that reference.
