error loading Word 97 dll

[tomtraxler]

I am trying to export some calculations to a table in a Word document. When I run the following code, it works fine in Word 2003, but I get an error message when I run it on a computer using Word 97, although my References use Word 11.0 Object Library.

The error message says that it is Runtime Error 48, Error Loading DLL.

Here is the code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Public Sub XYZ ()

Dim objWord as Object
Dim objDoc As Object

Set objWord = CreateObject("word.application")
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add

objWord.Visible = True
objDoc.Activate

With objDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection

objDoc.Tables.Add Range:=.Range, NumRows:=26, NumColumns _
:=4
.Tables(1).AutoFormat Format:=wdTableFormatSimple1, ApplyBorders _
:=True, ApplyShading:=True, ApplyFont:=True, ApplyColor:=True, _
ApplyHeadingRows:=True, ApplyLastRow:=True, ApplyFirstColumn:=True, _
ApplyLastColumn:=False, AutoFit:=True

.SelectColumn

.Cells.SetWidth ColumnWidth:=InchesToPoints(2.5), RulerStyle:= _
wdAdjustNone
...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The error occurs on the last line ".Cells.SetWidth ColumnWidth:=InchesToPoints(2.5), RulerStyle:= _
wdAdjustNone"

All i am trying to do is to select this first column and change its width to 2.5", but i can't get this fixed.

I sure would appreciate any help you could give me.

Since you are Late Binding your objects you shouldnt need a Word reference. Are you leaving the reference when you compile/package
and deploy to the 97 system?

i haven't gotten so far as compiling or packaging it yet

On the system with Word 97, in the VB IDE uncheck the reference to MS Word 11.0 and click ok. Then add a reference to MS Word 8.0.
Although since your using late binding all you should have to do is remove the reference to Word completely.
