I do know what you're talking about because it has irritated me as wel for a while! But I'm using simular code as yours to get rid off it. With Office to Office automation I don't receive any more blobs....automation via VB6 I don't know.

Seams like a busy day to day so I'll run some more test tommorow and report back to you!
My gut feeling is that the problem is caused by 3rd party apps such as Norton Auntie virus, OmniPage Office Pro and Acrobat. For example, there was a program update to NAV 2004 recently.

In the following example, the blob appears on the .Quit, so I expect there's some hanky panky being caused by an AutoClose or AutoExit somewherel

Wow, I Just discovered the problem is being caused by my own Normal.dot.
If I remove the Normal.dot, no more blobs. So either my Normal.dot is the culprit, or some 3rd pary app is not playing nice with my Normal.dot.

First, I'll reconstruct Normal.dot t make sure it is fresh.
If that doesn't do the deed, then I'll have to find out what specifically is causing the problem.

Sometime last year, I had to change AutoClose to defend against something being done by OmniPage Office Pro, so that's a likely candidate!
