I use Visual Basic code to instance the control in an Excel worksheet. I can only run the VB script once, subsequent runs cause the following runtime error when attempting to access the 'ActiveSheet' variable: Microsoft Visual Basic Run-time error '-2147319765 (8002802b)': Automation error Element not found I am trying to work out what causes this error and how I can fix it? As an experiment I tried creating a simple ActiveX control generated by Visual Studio wizards (in both VS 2005 & 2008). I didn't add or modify any code in this test case. The simple test case still causes this error. Other ActiveX controls in the system don't cause this error (eg I tried instancing 'Bitmap Image') from VB code. This is the VB code (a macro that I recorded, but hand-coded VB has the same issue): Sub Macro1() ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="test.test_control.1" _ , Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False).Select End Sub Can anyone give me an answer on this? Alternatively any pointers to resources that may help will be appreciated.

This is an unfortunate side-effect of using VB 6.0, but it is the only problem I know of using VB6, and it is easily fixed. The problem in your case stems from using the 'ActiveSheet' global variable. When using VBA, this is fine, but when using VB 6.0, you must avoid this or else you create an Excel application that you cannot release. This approach will run fine the first time, but will

An ActiveX control first has to be referenced and then has to be registered. You do this from any module window. On the menu bar, drop-downs from the Tools option get you started. Search this forum for "references" to see about a bazillion references to "references."

Whenever I open it, i get a error message such as 'automation error - element not found' if i compile the project , automation error on running the exe i get a activex-object not found error(obviously because a reference to the designer module cannot be obtained) I believe that there is something wrong with data environment dll. I have re-registered msderun.dll and msde.dll. I also re-installed ms visual studio. I cannot imagine what is wrong with the project. I get the same automation error element error when I add a data environment component to a absolutely new project also smitha View Public Profile Find all posts by smitha #2 07-14-2003, 08:26 AM Baradin Centurion Join Date: May 2003 Location: Alberta,Canada Posts: 118 Data Environments Quote:Originally Posted by smithaI have a project which has database designers (data environments) in them.
