    Angry For the Mac Run-time error 429 ActiveX component can't create object

    Is there a compatible VB code for Mac and PC? The below code works fine for the PC users, but not for Mac users. Here is the command that is failing (debug results): Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Mac user is running on version 14.2.5

    I don't think ActiveX is available on a Mac, so you have to find some other way around this - I discovered this when I had used an ActiveX button on a PC to run a macro and it would not work on a Mac, so I had to change it to a Forms button.

    Hope this helps.

    Worked out great. Created one form button for PC users and another for Mac Users. Had to use different VB codes but got the end result I wanted.


    Problem solved

    Please note that the thread is 9 years old - I doubt if the OP is still listening.
