Runtime Error 429-ActiveX Can't Create Object
 
The following errors are typically found in the Spreadsheet calculation method using User Equations:
 
Program says  Runtime error 429 - "ActiveX component can't create object" in calculations.
 
  • Solutions: The VbScript.DLL and MsScript.OCX files must be in the ...Winx\Systemx directory. From the HDS Main Menu and select File-Utilities-Register and these files will register with Windows. This one time only event takes only a matter of seconds. For NT systems, administrator rights are required.
Program says  Runtime error 5 – “Division by Zero" in calculations.
 
  • Solutions: In versions before HDS 2000 Las files were imported without requiring defined units. Sometimes these values are extremely out of range. Use the Edit Spreadsheet function to do a quick check of the values and clean up apparently bad data.
