The class factory error is an all too common error.

You will find lots of references in the MSFT KB and in the MSFT newsgroups.

I've encountered the critter, but, at this early hour, I do not recall how I fixed the problem. If I think of the solution, I'll post back.

I suggest searching the MSFT KB.

My recollection is that I, and others, found the only solution was to uninstall, then re-install Office.

Went back and searched a bit.

Most postings I saw confirmed that th efix was to uninstall, then re-install Office.

In my case, as I recall, the problem occurred after I installed NAV 2004.

I believe that I did the following experiment, but I'm not sure.

1. Uninstall, then re-install Office. Problem goes away.
2. Re-install NAV 2004, problem re-appears.
3. Uninstall, then re-install Office. Problem goes away.

Alas, periodically, 3rd party apps such as AV software do seem to break OLE in Office.
