Creating external objects

Creating external objects: In a VBScript function I am trying to call external programs such as Internet Explorer, Word,... But I get the error message: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Word.application'

In this case I was trying to make the following call:

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

This is probably due to the security configuration in Internet Explorer on your PC (ActiveX elements disabled).

Please use

Set objWord = GuiXT.CreateObject("Word.Application")
