[SOLVED] When attempting to attach paperwork to an Outlook email, get Cannot create ActiveX component error.

When you try to attach paperwork such as a PDF copy of an Invoice, Delivery Note, Purchase Order etc... to an Outlook Email from Easify, you get the following error (or similar):

System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component.

at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject(String ProgId, String ServerName)

at Easify.frmEasifyReportForm.EmailReportViaOutlook()

This can be caused if Easify is running with different privileges than Microsoft Outlook.

To resolve this, try running Easify as an Administrator by right clicking the Easify Shortcut and selecting Run as Administrator.

If you can now attach paperwork to emails in Easify, it means that there was a privileges mismatch between Easify and Outlook, probably caused by Outlook being run as administrator.
