Am trying to automate QMF which accepts OLE automation
through API and have started with IBM's sample code (see
below). It seems to fail at the very first stage with the
line

Set QMFWin = CreateObject("QMFWin.Interface.2")

producing the error - 'ActiveX component can't create
object or return reference to object'. I have checked
Tools:References and tried to select everything
applicable but there is nothing specifically for QMF.

Am using QMF 7.1 and Excel 2000.

Any ideas?

Thx, Robert
