VBA error on OpenDocument

Script that have been working flawless in PP X3 suddenly failed a couple 
of day ago. If I try to open a image:

Set doc = Application.OpenDocument(filespec2doc)

script now fails with

<vba dialog>
Run-time error '-2147024703 (800700c1)':

Automation error
%1 is not a valid Win32 application
</vba dialog>


Now just to isolate the error I tried the same thing in CorelDraw, of 
course with a CDR not CPT and worked without a hitch.

Tried doing a repair with the Setup Installer, but still no joy and VBA 
is so "well documented" at Corel I am at a loss...possibly a registry

error on CorelPHOTOPAINT.Automation.13?

What OS are you running? Downloaded any updates lately?

may be the place to get VBA info. That's where the code
gurus hang out.

WinXP Pro SR2 fully patched. CGS X3 v13.0.0739 I believe that is up to 
date...that InstallShield updated it installs always pops up saying 
there are no updates...

Interestingly enough is that the script works in PP11, I still have a 
copy of CGS 11.

I have looked but did find anything there. I don't think it the script 
but PP. Maybe buggered a DLL is something. Guess I try the nuke 
approach...uninstall and reinstall...

Have you tried this.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Periodically, it may be necessary to restore the application’s workspace 
to the default settings. Corrupt workspaces may lead to problems with 
the operability of the application and in some circumstances can prevent 
the application from launching. To restore default settings in CorelDRAW 
and PHOTO-PAINT, do the following:

Hold down the F8 key on the keyboard.
With the F8 key depressed, launch either CorelDRAW or PHOTO-PAINT.
The following message will appear: "Are you sure you want to overwrite 
the workspace with the factory defaults? "
Click Yes and release the F8 key.
The application will start using the default settings for the currently 
selected workspace.

Note that you will lose any workspace customization that you have done. 
See the Help for information about creating, using, and customizing 
multiple workspaces.

Note - Some newer keyboards have an "F Lock" key that must be pressed

first to activate the Function keys on the keyboard.

Hmmm just like old V8! Didn't have a lick of problems with V11 but X3 
seems to have old V8's "feature" I noticed things like CTRL+F stopped

working and a few other oddities. This is a PITA because I make up very 
custom WS with processing scripts to automate tasks. Paint to recreate 
with custom toolbars and the like...
