Hi everyone, 
On a vb.net app, i have code to open ods file, and i have this code working since 2018. 
Today, stop working and blocked my app. 
Can you tell if there is something wrong?
  Dim myDoc, mySheet, myCell As Object
  Dim OpenOffice As Object = CreateObject("com.sun.star.ServiceManager") // block on this line on createObject
  Dim StarDesktop As Object = OpenOffice.createinstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop")
Thanks

And what happened yesterday?
If you program in VB.Net, there is no need to use Calc to open a document.
An ODS is a ZIP file that contains XML that you can handling directly.

Nothing happened, just stop working, just block. 
If i open a new file, not editing one, i need to add some information on the sheets.

Have you observed the same behaviour with a Basic macro?

Re: CreateObject block my app
With a Basic Macro i didn't try.
At this moment, i resolve with cleannig all the processes on the task manager. But if i open a several copies of this template, stays on the same way.

So can you test it and give us the result?
