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 to do a quick check of the values and clean up apparently bad data.
