I helped design a spreadsheet that uses Excel to send an email via Lotus
Notes and for the actual emailing code I will freely admit that I just
borrowed it from someone else and don't understand it.

The spreadsheet is used by several users and seems to work fine in the main,
but one has encountered problems. This one user has the same operating system
(XP), the same Excel (2003) and the same Notes (6.5). The only difference is
that she is using a laptop, whereas I used a desktop to set up and test the
spreadsheet.

I've had her step through the code and the problem occurs on the line:
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")

When it reaches this line, it skips to the error handling code at the
bottom. Without the error handler active I get the following erroer:

Run-Time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object

Does anyone know of any reasons that this could be happening or any possible
solutions? Full code is below:

Code:
Sub emailer()

'Code to email RCR

.ScreenUpdating = False
.DisplayAlerts = False
