I hope I'm in the right forum. Can anyone tell me where I can find detailed instructions that explain how to use SMS 2003 to deploy Windows patches? So far I've only been to find technet articles that give tons of useless overviews of the patch management process, but no instructions on how to actually do it. I need to cut through the BS and get to step by step instructions on how to setup the packages, advertisments, etc. We basically want to start pushing out MS patches out on a regular basis. We have SMS 2003 installed on a Server 2003 machine. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi, I am getting a "ActiveX component cannot create object" error whenever I open Excel and Word 2003. When I click OK, I get the error "Run-time Error 91:Object variable or with block variable not set". In addition, we cannot use the Save As feature in Excel or Word once they are running. I should also say that we are running Windows Terminal Server on the machine, but this problem just recently started occuring. Here is a block of code from when I choose to debug the error in Excel: Public WithEvents App As Application Private Sub App_WindowDeactivate(ByVal Wb As Excel.Workbook, ByVal Wn As Excel.Window) Dim lReturn As Long If Application.Workbooks.Count = 1 And Not oIDMMacros Is Nothing Then lReturn = oIDMMacros.CIDMMacroAPI_IDMUpdateMenu(APPLTYPE, Application, True) End If End Sub Private Sub App_WorkbookActivate(ByVal Wb As Excel.Workbook) Dim lReturn As Long If oIDMMacros Is Nothing Then Auto_open End If [u]lReturn = oIDMMacros.CIDMMacroAPI_IDMUpdateMenu(APPLTYPE, Application)[/u] End Sub The underlined code is where VB says the problem is, although it is probably not actually in that line. I've looked around in lots of forums and have tried to register some DLLs per suggestions, but have not resolved the issue. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2003, but that did not fix the issue either. Any ideas?
