MSWord 2000 Automation, Error in Loading DLL

Hi,

I'm currently working on a project that requires MSword 2000 Automation from Visual Basic 6. I'm creating the object using early binding:

Dim msword As New Word.Application
Dim docWord As Word.Document

'display the application (for dev time only)
msword.Visible = True

When the code reaches the (msword.Visible = True) I get an "Error in Loading DLL". This problem really has me stumped. I have reinstalled Office 2000 pro, installed SP1 and 2. I also tryed it with my Laptop with a fresh installation of Win 98.

The problem really is anoying! I have searched the internet and MSDN for a fix, but failed sadly.

Any light you could shed on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Jon
