How to attack the problem with activeX configuration, when vba programming in Office and Automate so

Dear all,

Firstly put some words on Automate. It's a great automation platform, which
supports vba coding. You can refer the web site
http://www.networkautomation.com/automate/automate6/ for more informations.

I recently wrote vba code for the automate task, that takes some operations
on xls files.

When I run the code on my laptop with automate, it always aborts at line 92
¡°xlApp.Workbooks.Open (filePath & "ThisWeek.xls")¡±, with the error
msg:Script error: "(10090) ActiveX Automation error."

Still in my laptop, if I copy the code into MS Office macro(no matter in
excel\word\outlook etc), it runs pretty well.

So I choose another computer, with the same Windows XP,Office 2003 and
Automate. It runs well too!

There are must be something wrong with the activeX configuration of my
laptop. Could you give me instructions on how to dump and compare the
activeX configuration of those two computers, so that I would find the root
cause and correct it.

Thanks for your time.
