Office 2003 Registry Conflict

Office 2003 Registry Conflict
Hi. I was wondering if there is anyone who knows of an eraser program for MS Office 2003?

There seems to be a conflict in the registry, as I'm unable to create a new instance of Word.Application using VB or VBA code. I get an automation error stating that the specified module could not be found. The original error occurred within my company's software using a type of mail merge function hard coded in. I then re-created the issue within the Word VB Editor using the below test code.

Public Sub Test()

Dim OpenWord as Word.Application

Set OpenWord = New Word.Application
OpenWord.Quit
Set OpenWord = Nothing

End Sub


What I would like to do is completely remove ALL instances of Office off the PC and reload Office 2003.

Hope someone can help

Cheers

Welshsteve

You should be able to remove it by going to "Add/Remove Programs" in the control panel.

This does remove most of the files, but does leave lingering registry keys in the registry. Microsoft have a program for download on their website called OfficeEraser. This is for Office 2000. I need one for Office 2003.
