If that's the case, you may be able to access the object at another time.įor additional information, select the item in question and press F1 (in Windows) or HELP (on the Macintosh). For example, you may be trying to access a data object that's currently being used and is locked to prevent deadlock situations. GetObject can't be used to obtain a reference to a class created with Visual Basic.Īccess to the object has explicitly been denied. You are trying to use the GetObject function to retrieve a reference to a class created with Visual Basic.

It may be necessary for the user to reinstall the licensed object. In this case, the instantiation may work on the developer's system, but not on the user's system. If the key can't be found, the object can't be instantiated. If an end user has improperly set up the object's application, inadvertently deleted a necessary file, or changed the system registry, the object may not be able to find its key. In this case, it may search the system registry or look for a special file that it creates when it is installed, for example, one with the extension. If the attempt to instantiate is the result of a CreateObject or GetObject call, the object must find the key. When a reference is made to an object through a properly installed type library or object library, the correct key is supplied automatically. Some objects can be instantiated only after the component finds a license key, which verifies that the object is registered for instantiation on the current machine. The object is available on the machine, but it is a licensed Automation object, and can't verify the availability of the license necessary to instantiate it. You may have to rerun the setup program for such an object if that is what is causing this error. For example, the Data Access Object (DAO) requires supporting DLLs that vary among platforms. Make sure all associated DLLs are available. If starting the application doesn't fix the problem, rerun the application's setup program.Ī DLL required by the object can't be used, either because it can't be found, or it was found but was corrupted. If the registry information is out of date or wrong, the application should check the registry and correct the information. If possible, try to start the object's application. For example, the system registry has no mention of the class, or the class is mentioned, but specifies either a file of the wrong type or a file that can't be found. This error has the following causes and solutions: Creating objects requires that the object's class be registered in the system registry and that any associated dynamic-link libraries (DLL) be available.
