The object invoked has disconnected from its client excel

«Automation Error: Object Invoked has disconnected from its clients»

I figured out what Nick was suggesting, and the following is the error number & description that I’m getting:

‘-2147417848 (80010108)’ Automation error The object invoked has disconnected from its clients

The line of code that is highlighted when I debug is:

I thought that I had seen somewhere on this or another forum to unregister then re-register a specific file, but I was at home when I came across that, and didn’t want to try it on my laptop, since everything already works 100% on it.

Once again, any help is greatly appreciated. I leave Sunday for 2 weeks, and I really need to get this working before I leave. Most of the people working for me are not excel guru’s and need all buttons/functions working, as they won’t be able to troubleshoot and/or work around the problems.

I am still sitting with the following code in a regular module, and the next set of code below that is in one of the worksheet modules.

This code is on one of the worksheets that has a command button, which calls the above code.

Ok. It’s been well over 1 month now, and I’ve finally fixed this!! Fortunately & Unfortunately, it had absolutely nothing to do with my code. Instead, it was an MS Office Vs. Windows 8 problem. To fix it, I ran the compatability troubleshooter, and all is back to perfect again:

1. Open MS Excel (Any File or new file)
2. Pull up Task Manager
3. Click on MS Office or Excel Icon in Background Processes, Right click, and select properties
4. Under Compatibility, Click «Run Compatibility Troubleshooter»
5. When finished running, test file again, if it works right, click apply settings to this program. If it doesn’t work, click next and choose from the options. (I chose that it worked in previous version of Windows (Windows 7) Then click Next again.
6. Test file again, and it worked.

I cannot believe that this is all I had to do the whole time! I actually spent $149 thinking that Microsoft Support could remote in and fix it, but that was an absolute waste! I was transferred to 12+ different people/departments, and still got nothing from them. I finally stumbled across the solution this morning.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who posted and tried to help me with this. I always log off of this site with better VBA skills than I signed on with because of all of you. So Thanks again!

VBA throwing «The object invoked has disconnected from its clients» error

I wrote a VBA macro in Excel quite a while back that was working flawlessly for months. Suddenly, the other day it started throwing an error, though I had not made any changes to the workbook:

The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

I traced the error to the following lines of code.

Note that the first line runs fine every time and the second line is where the error occurs. I point this out because they are doing roughly the same types of work, but one throws the error while the other doesn’t. This isn’t my first reference to wkbTool.Worksheets(«Delq Spine») in the script.

I’m aware that solutions for this error abound. I’ve tried most of them and a few ideas of my own. For example, the following throws the same error:

Attempt 1 — Everything is a variable

Attempt 2 — The opposite

Attempt 3 — Perhaps ClearContents doing something crazy, skip it

This results in Excel crashing, though it does not throw the error first. It clearly performs the operation in the first iteration before crashing because, when Excel recovers the workbook, cell(2,3) is empty. Also, I am not using ClearContents for the first line in this attempt, just in case ClearContents is causing something in itself.

Attempt 4 — Fine, I don’t need that line anyway

I comment out the line that is causing the error. Upon looping back the next time, there is a reference to Worksheets(«Delq Spine») that works in the first iteration but not the second:

In the above, the worksheet is activated, but Excel crashes similar to Attempt 3 when assigning the formula to C2. Again, once Excel recovers, it’s clear that the operation was successful, as the formula is updated in that cell.

Attempt 5 — Surely the workbook has been corrupted

I went back through my company’s backup files to find a version of the workbook that was definitely working at the time. It ran in to the same error at the same place.

Attempt 6 — Let’s just recreate the workbook then

I recreated the workbook from scratch, including writing in all formulas and formatting the cells. I did copy/paste the VBA script to the new version because I don’t have time to rewrite it all only for it to fail again.

I will continue to add more information about attempts I made as I think of them, I’ve been working on this problem on and off for the last week.

Question

I got this error: «Automation error: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients» when I try to save a document(Word), spredsheet(Excel) etc. in Office 2010.

I try it for office 2007 /2003, the issue is same.

It is a new error, my Office have worked fine with this installation before.

Can you check if the Security Update MS12-060 has been installed ?
If so, please try the following on a test machine.

Open Notepad and paste the content below the line.
Save the File as .bat and run it. Try again Word to see if you get the message.

if exist %systemroot%SysWOW64cscript.exe goto 64
%systemroot%system32regsvr32 /u mscomctl.ocx
%systemroot%system32regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx
exit

:64
%systemroot%sysWOW64regsvr32 /u mscomctl.ocx
%systemroot%sysWOW64regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx
exit

Appreciate your quick reply.

I have try to run your .bat file, but occurred this error message, means «Mscomctl.ocx has been loaded successfully but failed to call DllRegisterServer, the error code is 0x80004005.»

I execute the about scripts successfully, but the automation error still exists. -_-!

Try to run Word in safe mode, and save the document again.

If this error won’t occur in the safe mode, remove the macros or disable the add-ins and check again.

Any updates/ fresh insights on this?

I get the exact same error when trying to use «Save as» from Excel. I get it regardless of the state of the document, whether I try to save an empty document from a freshly opened Excel session or if I try to «Save as» an existing document. Just using Save on an existing document does not initiate the error.

In Word I get the message only sporadically when trying to save.

I have tried the registry fix to no avail and running in safe mode does not make any difference.

I tried reinstalling Microsoft Office (2007) — that did not help. Today IT department rolled out Office 2010 and I installed that, but I still get the same error.

As for the OP my problems started recently, and without remembering the exact date it was definitely later than the 15th of August (time of the infamous patch).

We are a pretty big organisation, and as far as I know none of my colleagues have the same problem and our IT helpdesk is miffed.

The only solution left to me now is to reinstall windows unless some clever soul in here have a tip that might remedy the issue.

Detect if an object has been disconnected from its clients

I am having an issue with automating an Excel file. The VBA script within Excel first opens a Word application and Word document:

And then I call a subroutine within the Word document passing some data from the Excel file:

If Excel detects that an error occurs in that subroutine, I close the Word document and Word application from Excel in a label I call Err1 :

This works perfectly fine under normal circumstances; however, if the Word document or application are closed before the Err1 label executes (such as the user manually closing the document), I get the following error:

Run-time error ‘-2147417848 (80010108)’:
Automation error The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

which makes perfect sense because the wordApp and/or wordDoc variables still reference the Application and Document objects and those objects do not exist anymore (yet are also not considered to be Nothing ).

So here is my inquiry: Is there a way to check if an object has been disconnected from its client before the run-time error occurs so as to avoid having to rely on on error resume next ?

Update 1:

After looking at omegastripes’ answer, I realized that the error given above only occurs when the document ( wordDoc ) was the object that got disconnected. If the Word application ( wordApp ) is what got disconnected, I get the following error:

The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable
