Go get the latest VB runtime files. The first part of the file name is telling me that is part of a library of files. The file may be there, but normally dll's do integrity checking so there could be one or two that are actually missing.

Hi there,

I've learnt over the years that Word was written to not produce VB errors from it's core code so as a result if you see one at any point it's normally due to the app having been customised by some form of macro template or document management system.

Try this simple test...

Start Word from Start: Run: by typing WINWORD(space)/a

this bypasses Word startup where it loads COM add-ins and templates that contain any customised code. then close Word. if you still get the error it's most likely being caused by another app running in the background that is interfereing with the application exit preocess so simply close everything but Explorer from your task list and try again.

I hope this helps ;)
