New repository-object gives runtime error '429'

[StefanPears]

Hi all,

I'm back. My last posting is from 2007. Meanwhile I did some work with other tools in different companies, but now I'm again in a project with EA.

My problem: I have a VB-Script to save the entire repository to XML-files, written in MS-Word-VB. Until last week it worked fine, but then they installed EA7.5 upon my EA7.1, I had before.

The script goes like this:

Sub EA_XML_Export()
Dim m_Repository As Repository, package As package, m_project As Project
    Set m_Repository = New Repository
    <...>
End Sub

When trying to create the repository-object, I get the error-message: "run time error '429'. Active X Component can`t create Objekt" (Translated from german).

I guess it has something to do with the version upgrade. Unfortunalty I have no admin-privileges to re-install the tool or to check the registry or whatever.

Thanks for help
Stefan

Yep, that would be your problem.
You are not allowed to create a Repository object.
You need to retrieve it from the EA.Application object.
