I haven't submitted a show yet and had installed Pampered Partner on my desktop computer at home. After reading some threads about consultants bringing their laptops to shows, I decided to load PP on my laptop.
The problem is, everytime I try to open the program, I get the following message:
Run-time error '429'
ActiveX Component cant create object

Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it??
i really want to run it on my laptop.

(oops, was supposed to put this in the Pampered Partner section)
