Every time I try to run the Macro that i have inherited from previous employees here, i get this new run time error.

run-time error '-2147221231 (80040111)':

automation error
ClassFactory Cannot supply requested class

when i hit debug it takes me to the following line

Dim objDataControl As BLP_DATA_CTRLLib.BlpData
Set objDataControl = New BlpData

and highlights the second. any advice on how to fix this or why this error is happening. yesterday this file wokred without issue and today I seem to be missing something.
any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

yes. the best way, as far as i am concerned is to switch the part of the sheets that use BlpData to python. It is much simpler and a lot more reliable. obviously, it depends on the user interaction required.

I have the same problem. Currently I am using VBA to call BlpData. If the legacy api cannot be used anymore, does switching to python can really help to solve?
