I regularly have workbooks open that have too many calculations in the for me to have auto-calculation on. So I have auto-calc set to manual, and the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12270922/what-is-causing-automation-error-unspecified-error-on-worksheet-activate following code in the worksheet: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() A_Dates.Calculate End Sub This has worked fine for the last 3 months, day-in and day-out.

Recently, we had an Issue with MS Word reporting 'Automation Error' when trying to use the BI Publisher plugin. This was strange, since: - It occoured on every machine we had MS Word installed on. - Even machines that were previously working stopped.

And just fyi, the solution is to unregister and re-register the C:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX file - this is in the link but I wanted to record it just in case the link gets deleted or something. So I just wanted this posted to the forum in case it will help other people. 4568Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final. Show 3 replies 1.
