SYMPTOMS
When you use an out-of-process client application that uses early binding to Automate Word 97 or later, the application may crash with an access violation or you may receive one of the following error messages:

From Microsoft Visual Basic:

The Interface will simply carash as soon as you insert a space after the Variable Name.. (The article at the link doesn't mention this this is why i had so much trouble finding the solution.

Run-time error '-2147023113 (800706f7)':
The method '~' of object '~' failed


Run-time error '-2147023113 (800706f7)':
Method 'Execute' of object 'Find' failed


Run-time error 430:
Class does not support automation or does not support expected interface.
From Microsoft Visual C++:

HRESULT = 0x800706F7
RPC_X_BAD_STUB_DATA - The stub received bad data.
NOTE: In debug builds you receive a corrupt stack warning from an Assert dialog box, and the value of EAX is that listed above. In release builds, the stack corruption will likely crash the application soon after this point, but the HRESULT value is likely to be similar to the above.

The problem occurs consistently on some computers, but may never occur on others. Installing a new application or a Microsoft Excel service pack can cause a computer that was working previously to experience the problem.
