Please explain what you mean by "run as per normal". (What abnormal behaviour

If Excel is not running as an administrator the vba routine that creates the object (CreateObject("Outlook.Application")) doesn't have permission to create an instance of Outlook (or Word).

It works okay on my computer as I have excel set to run as administrator, but it doesn't work on other computers. I can't go an change the settings on all the other computers.
