Hello guys.

As per title, from Excel VBA I am unable to create an instance of the DocumentManager but from SW VBA it works with no issues. In Excel I have already referenced the library and indeed VBA Environment let me start the execution but it fails when calling the CreateObject method.

I am wondering if I am missing some libraries or if for some reasons is not possible to create an instance from Excel VBA. Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Paolo

Do you use 32 bit version of Excel by any chance? Document Manager is registered in the x64 registry only.

  Artem, in fact my office package is 32bit and your point is valid. I will install a 64bit version and will confirm here that problem is solved.
