I have just upgraded to MacBook Pro to Office 15.25.

The CreateObject("word.application") used to work fine in my code before the upgrade but now it kicks out an error 429 ActiveX component can't create object.

Can anyone assist please.

Thanks

Thank you Jim - I will follow your suggestion and try to report this as a bug. Not sure how this works but I'll give it go....

    I just tried in Excel 15.27 and got the same result. This is clearly a bug that you should report to Microsoft. To send in a bug report click the Smile button in Excel and send a frown.
