So, my guess is that it's not the code but perhaps some 3rd party controls (OCXs, DLLs) you're using. Check your References (In VBA IDE, click Tools and References) and to see where each DLL is pointing. See if any of the dates on the libraries are different than a working machine and you may find the culprit. Edit The OP found the problem by following the steps above. The fix for this particular issue is to unregister mscomctl.ocx: regsvr32 /u mscomctl.ocx Then register it: regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx share|improve this answer edited Aug 16 '12 at 9:57 answered Aug 15 '12 at 14:52 ray 4,72942849 Not straight forward to compare, but only key difference I found is "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6) MSCOMCTL.OCX which is dated 6/6/12 on the updated (and not working) machine and 4/11/11 on an "old" one.

The problem is often caused by un-installing a trial version of Excel 2007, a missing service pack or an Office patch that was automatically run by Windows.

However the same code when run in Excel 2003 SP3 on Windows 7 32 gives Run Time Automation Error at line Set asc1 = CreateObject("System.Text.UTF8Encoding") I am unclear why it is failing in Excel 2003. Assuming it has something to do with dot net framework I re-installed dot Net 4.0 while 3.5.1 is already part of Windows 7 and Feature already enabled. There is very similar post on this site here but even it does not have a solution. What else should I troubleshoot further? Could this be something to do with missing or corrupt components / libraries or anything related? Thanks.
