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 automation error unspecified were previously working stopped. The solution to the issue (was eventually found here): http://blogs.technet.com/b/wordonenotesupport/archive/2012/08/16/quot-unspecified-automation-error-quot-after-applying-ms12-060.aspx Interestingly the date of the post is quite recent (16.08.2012). 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.

I spent several hours to realize that you have a ready solution for this problem. Rest, please note this command has to be Run as an administrator to get the MSCOMCTL.OCX re-registered.

It contains some forms as well as numerous modules of VBA code. However, when removing the forms (and associated code) everything is fine. The same thing happened about a year ago after some other windows updates. Back then deleting the .exd files did the trick, but the current updates (including Service Pack 3) seem to be different. What is going on and how can I get the forms to work? All the code is unchanged and has survived all previous windows/office updates. Running Windows 7 (same happening on Vista machine) and Office 2007. windows excel vba ms-office windows-update share|improve this question asked Aug 15 '12 at 14:38 Rob 4343716 add a comment| 11 Answers 11 active oldest votes up vote 16 down vote accepted I used to see this a lot with Visual Basic and Crystal Reports; either due to a bad deployment or DLL Hell. 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 4,74942849 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. Not using any 3rd party controls and all worked fine until windows updates ran. –Rob Aug 15 '12 at 15:11 @Rob I would think comparing dates to files wou
