Run-time error 429: The solution

[petzi69]

When I first started to program VBA scripts to use IM with Excel, I run into the same problem as many others before.

Code: Select all

    Dim objIM
    Dim myimage(1)
    Set objIM = CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1")

caused an error message: Runtime Error 429 - ActiveX Component Can't Create Object
My search on this forum had only limited success, except that I found several topics about this problem.
The reason is rather simple: you have installed a 64-bit version of IM, but your programming environment is a 32-bit application, like my Office-365.
The simple solution: uninstall your 64-bit IM and reinstall a 32-bit version. Then everything works fine.
I'm not sure if there will be any disadvantages form this. Maybe IM runs a bit slower when you are working with very big images. I doubt that it's noticeable for human beings...
