Dll stops working (2003)

New Reply

I have a dll that has worked in my code for the past two years. All of a sudden I got the following message: Activex Component cannot create object.
I copied the dll fresh from the download site in case the file was corrupt, but nothing goes. I created a whole new database and created a module to test this dll also no go.
The dll is referenced in the database. I tried unchecking and rechecking it
Any ideas on why a dll should go bad like this?
Attached is the dll if you want to try it
thanks

My code is:
Public Function fGetWords(varNumber As Variant, Optional blDollar As Boolean) As Variant
On Error GoTo Err_fGetWords

Dim vResult As Variant

Dim MyDll As New ConvertNo2Words.GetWords
Dim strNumber As String

If varNumber > 999999.99 Then
Dim StrAmount2 As String
StrAmount2 = InputBox(“

It works for me – although the result is nonsense, probably since I don’t have Hebrew installed. I’ll try to look at it later.

I installed office 2007 and have opened this database also in 2007. I wonder if that corrupt the dll in some way, although I did download a new copy.
Could just the fact that office 2007 is installed affect the way dll’s work on the whole system?

Installing an Office version should not corrupt a non-Office DLL, or influence the way non-Office DLLs work.
You might try registering the DLL:
– Select Start | Run…
– Type regsvr32 “c:folder1folder2ConvertNo2Words.dll” (substitute the correct path).
– Click OK or press Enter.
