SPSS PivotTables, SPSSRTFText controls, etc. cannot be directly instantiated in a VB program. Instead, you will have to paste them into a suitable container.

By default SPSS will not place PivotTables (or other controls) on the clipboard as ActiveX controls. To allow ActiveX controls to be pasted, run the batch file OBJS-ON.BAT which may be found in the SPSS directory (you can just double-click it in the Explorer). To restore the default behavior, run OBJS-OFF.BAT instead. Or, you can check the .BAT file to see what Registry setting is being altered, and make sure that the value is correct with an API call from your VB app.

The reason for this choice of default behavior is that Word 6 and many other popular applications cannot distinguish older OCX controls from ActiveX controls, and such programs will crash immediately if the wrong format is chosen when pasting objects. See the README file for further details.
