    New Excel.Application failed

    Hello,

    I am struggling to understand why one of my code is not working. I have attached a screen shot of the problem and the references that I have already. It went from working to not working. I have search all over the net and have seen that the code is correct.

    Is there something I am doing wrong? When I click the button it throws that message and highlights "New Excel.Application"

    Many thanks in advance and many thanks to this forum, it has help me get out of a pickle on numerous times.

    perhaps you need to define ObjXL. ie Dim ObjXL as New Excel.Application

    Code:
    Private sub cmd_8_Click()
        Dim objXL as object
        Dim objWkbT as object
    I think you need to declare the objects before you Set them. Try adding these two lines.

    A lot depends on whether you are trying to use early binding or late binding.
    I set a reference to the "Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library" when trying to use Excel automation. (but for me, it is "Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library" since I have Office 2010)

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
