I get the above error message when I try to execute,

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var V: Variant;
begin
V:=CreateOleObject('Excel.Application');
V.Visible:=True;
end;

The code use to work, but somehow Microsoft Word does not want to cooperate.
I have reinstalled both Delphi 5 and Microsoft Office 2000.

Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
John Donaldson

I bet you have Norton Antivirus installed - it is
incompatible with Word 2000. The workaround is to run
 Regsvr32 /U "C:\...\Norton AntiVirus\OfficeAV.dll"

Deborah,
You are really good!
Thanks so much.  I have spent hours days and weeks trying to figure out what
I screwed up.  Never thought about the Norton antivirus I updated to combat
Nimda.  This fixes several other problems as well.

You should be on TEAM A,
Sincerely,
