i have a vb6 program that reads an access database, a word document, 2
text files, writes a new word document, an excel spreadsheet and updates
1 of the text files. a lot of code so i cant post it here.

it works great from the IDE but when i do a make and then run as an
application (even after installing it with the package and deployment
wizard) i get teh following message

run time error '-2147417848(80010108)':
Automation error
the object invoked has disconnected from its clients

and then it cancels so i have no idea what is wrong.

help! Please!

thanks in advance for any assistance.

I am not responsible for anything you may see with my name attached to
it, i think.

The error "The object invoked has disconnected from its clients" is often a
side effect of an unqualified reference. If you are using early binding
for automation to Excel, check that all your method/properties calls to
Excel are qualified. See this article for more details:
