vba run time error 1004 cannot insert object

[vaithilingam]

Hi All,

I am using excel sheet which use macro code to add command button at run time. It was working earlier and now in production it started giving the error 1004 cannot insert object and command button was not added.

Even now it was working in my machine where in I have MS office 2007 sp2, but customer has MS office 2010 in one machine and MS office 2007 sp3 in another machine, but in both machine it is not working.

Will this service pack version create any problem?

Can you all please help me on the same. In case of any more details please let me know.

Below is the code, which is used to add and command button called "Refresh" at run time.


Public Sub AddButton(myWS As Excel.Worksheet)

Dim OLEObj As OLEObject
Dim Rng As Range
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim CodeMod As Object
Dim LineNum As Long

Set WS = myWS

Set Rng = Range("I2")
Rng.ClearFormats

'Set OLEObj = WS.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Top:=Rng.Top + (Rng.Top - 400), Left:=Rng.Left, Height:=Rng.Height * 2, Width:=Rng.Width)
Set OLEObj = WS.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Top:=Rng.Top, Left:=Rng.Left, Height:=Rng.Height * 2, Width:=Rng.Width * 2)
OLEObj.Name = "Refresh"
OLEObj.Object.Caption = "Refresh"

Set CodeMod = ReportWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents(WS.CodeName).CodeModule
LineNum = CodeMod.createeventproc("Click", OLEObj.Name)
CodeMod.insertLines LineNum + 1, "RefreshReport"

' code for change event in sheet
LineNum = CodeMod.createeventproc("Change", "Worksheet") + 1
CodeMod.insertLines LineNum + 1, "on error resume next " & vbNewLine & "" _
& "If Target.Address = " & """$C$11""" & " Then " & vbNewLine & "" _
& " If Target.NumberFormat <> " & """;;;""" & " Then " & vbNewLine & "" _
& " Application.EnableEvents = False: Application.Undo: Application.EnableEvents = True" & vbNewLine & "" _
& " Target.NumberFormat = " & """;;;""" & ": Application.Range(" & """A1""" & ").Activate: Exit Sub" & vbNewLine & "" _
& " EndIf" & vbNewLine & "" _
& " Application.EnableEvents = False:Application.Undo:Application.EnableEvents = True" & vbNewLine & "" _
& " Application.Range(" & """A1""" & ").Activate:Target.Range(" & """C11""" & ").NumberFormat = " & """;;;""" & "" & vbNewLine & "" _
& "EndIf"

'code for Selectchange event in sheet
LineNum = CodeMod.createeventproc("SelectionChange", "Worksheet") + 1
CodeMod.insertLines LineNum + 1, "on error resume next " & vbNewLine & "" _
& "If Target.Address = " & """$C$11""" & " Then Application.CommandBars(" & """Cell""" & ").Enabled = False:Application.CommandBars(" & """Format""" & ").Enabled = False:" _

End Sub

[vaithilingam]

Below is the line throws exception
Set OLEObj = WS.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Top:=Rng.Top, Left:=Rng.Left, Height:=Rng.Height * 2, Width:=Rng.Width * 2)
