I'm one of the developers of an application, in Visual Basic 6, that uses
Microsoft Word. The application uses Microsoft word for 8 years or so, and
allways worked fine, till one day, on the computer that had the project and
in one client only, started giving the following error:

-2147319779
"Automation error
Object library not registered"

We build another computer and installed everything else, again. Everything
was working just fine, till one day started giving the same error. The
problem is that we can't understand what did we do for this error to start
happening. The initial version of MS Word was 97, after we installed the MS
Word 2000, for a few months it started working fine, till one day, once more.
We've googled for this error and we found somethings that we've tryed, but
did not worked. We tried to :
-> Uninstall Norton Antivirus 2003 (we found a web page stating that Norton
Antivirus 2000 could make this error happen)
-> delete "Normal.dot" file.
-> change the "Normal.dot" file with another from another computer

We are desperate because we can't debug this part of our application, and
its somehow difficult to develop under this circumstances
the error happens in the following line of code:

Set objWordApp = New Word.Application

We thank you in advanced
