Solved!

I looked at the error log generated by the application and figured it was
related to a third Active X. I reinstalled/regristered the ActiveX... works
now. The baffling thing is how this happened just suddenly when the same
system worked OK the previous day. Ok I panicked that's why I did not check
the error log before posting.

Unfortunately there are many subtle (though rare) ways to confuse the
Registry concerning 32-bit ActiveX components. Moving things about
(logically or physically), installing other products (beta, under
different accounts), ... the list is endless.

The key is to run a Registry Cleaner regularly. IMHO for a developmnet
box at least once a day.
