The runtime error 80010108 could be easy to fix or it may be hard.  Typical computer users frequently see this error when an ActiveX object they require is unavailable for manipulation.  An ActiveX object disconnect isn’t exactly an unusual problem for the tech support group.

The support for an ActiveX object originates in the actively operating application it is created from.  Suppose you hope to automatically export data from Excel in to Visual Basic, for instance.  You start your labor inside Excel selecting the chosen data for the task and when you are finished, you shut Excel down.  You are struggling with Visual Basic when you get the runtime error 80010108 “the object invoked has disconnected from its clients” popup.  If Visual Basic is the “client” and the automation task is the “object invoked,” your issue is figuring out why the object disconnection happened and how to fix it.

The typical cause of your runtime error 80010108? You can’t shut down the program that created and sustains the ActiveX object if you hope to access that object.  To sustain the connection with the required object, you need to have the program it came from running.  In our example, that means Excel can’t be shut down if you need to automate an export out of Excel in to Visual Basic.

If the runtime error 80010108 isn’t resolved your problem could be more difficult.  ActiveX object problems can get pretty hairy, but they frequently stem from out of date, incompletely registered, or corrupt data in the Windows registry.  So start solving the runtime error 80010108 with basic PC care.  Get every update for Microsoft Windows and get all available patches or hot fixes for your specific programs, too.  Because a lot of runtime errors arise from incompatibility between applications or within the system, getting updates is generally smart.  You’ll have the most current DLLs and ActiveX supports once you’ve got the updates.

If your error problems persist, apply your anti-virus utility on a full system scan.  Once you are positive your operating system is malware free, run best registry repair software in order to register DLLs, fix ActiveX problems, and remove outdated junk that sticks to the registry.  Registry cleaners are simple and indispensible programs for fighting runtime errors, since runtime errors are often a sign of registry corruption.  I recommend getting the free diagnostic scan that many registry cleaner programs give before you decide to buy so that you can be sure that the program will address your particular challenge.  (You wouldn’t have to part with the cash unless your PC is in danger!)

As you might guess, it can happen that doing all the recommended steps still doesn’t eliminate your runtime error 80010108.  But there is always that worst case scenario.  When your error is caused by an error line of code, then someone who knows what he/she is looking at will have to be practically intimate with your specific operating system.  Don’t feel bad!  Lots of programmers run into the runtime error 80010108 as they write code and fixing it is generally misery for them, also.  We will pray that your error is caused by one of the simple-to-resolve reasons.
