CreateObject("ADODB.Command") - Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object

Question

I have an old Access solution that includes opening a connection and inserting some lines in a SQL database. I had to make a very small change that had nothing to do with that connection. After the change I compacted the database.

The solution works normally for me, but the person that normally runs it is getting the Run-time error I outlined in the subject. I had another user try and also got this error. It seems I am now the only one that can run this, yet I did nothing to the code or the access db as a whole that I can see explaining this.

The button they press that triggers the error:

• Sets a variable as ADODB.Connection
• Defines the connection string
• ERROR TIME: Then it runs a function that executes a stored procedure using that connection. The error point is showing as occurring at the top of that function, when it attempts to CreateObject("ADODB.Command").

Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object

Can anyone offer anything as to why this user that could work with it suddenly can't despite the same security, same machine, etc.

Sigh... Thanks for the responses. It turns out to be our security software and the fact that I moved the solution to a different location. Out of sight out of mind. I forget that I have some exemptions setup for myself, so I didn't see how it could be that. I just need to learn to check that stuff first.
