Hi,
I'm getting error code 429 activex component can't create object when trying to run the sample code for merging pdfs in VBA.
I'm using windows 7 ultimate 64bit with office 2010 64bit installed and I have installed pdf redirect pro and the activex compenent v2.5.2 with sample code on teh machine.
Are there any dependencies I am missing or need installed or does this not work with access 2010 64bit yet?

Hi,
I have Access 2010 - 64bit version on my PC, and it works for me.
Does the Access example work I have included with the ActiveX work OK as is? Or do you get the 429 error as well?
I would also check to see that the ActiveX is properly registered. If you familiar with the regsvr32 command, you can try to register the ActiveX manually, and see if that fixes the issue.
I hope this helps,
Michel

The sample/example as is did not work either, there were two errors.
1. I had to include ptrsafe into the private declare functions/subs declarations.
2. When trying to convert to pdf, it went to the error handler of Convert2Pdf sub
Yes I have tried using the regsvr32 command running the command prompt as an administrator and registering C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF reDirect\ActiveX_PDF_Pro_v25002.dll

Hi Slin,
I did some research on the internet, and it seems like I stand corrected, and I probably owe you an apology.
On the Microsoft web site, I have found the following information: Existing 32-bit ActiveX controls, both third-party and
Microsoft-supplied, are not compatible with the 64-bit version of Office
2010.
So, even though I thought I had the 64 bit version of Office (there was an Office14 folder in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14) it turns out there were just a few files there, and the applications were in the Program Files (x86) folder. Therefore, I have the 32bit version of Office10.
In summary: there is no immediate solution short of re-writing and re-compiling the ActiveX to a 64bit version. Unfortunately, this will be at least a year away as I work on an improved version of PDF reDirect for now.
Again, sorry for the confusion.

The great power of VBA programming in Office 2010 is that nearly every
operation that you can perform with a mouse, keyboard, or a dialog box
can also be done by using VBA. - http://www.madisonpharmacyassociates.org/ - Madison Pharmacy Associates
