SUMMARY
=======
When using the Microsoft Visual Basic CreateObject function to create/return a
reference to an ActiveX object using the servername argument, the following
errors may occur:
Runtime Error '429':
ActiveX component can't createobject
-or-
Runtime Error '462':
The Remote Server Machine does not exist or is unavailable
MORE INFORMATION
================
The documentation for the CreateObject function does not mention that the server
referenced in the servername argument must be a Windows NT or Windows 2000
server.
For example, the following line of code should create and return a Microsoft
Excel application object from the specified server, if the server is running
Windows NT or Windows 2000.
Sub Test()
Set xlObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application","\\MyServer")
xlObj.Visible = True
End
If the servername specified is a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me machine,
one of the errors listed above will occur.
