Re: voice labelling folders

Hi again Aman

OK, I extracted the files into a folder, then ran the file you suggested. I
get the following error:
Error
A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 97
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
 Yes No

I select "no", then indeed I can tab through the options. I specify the
path of the folder I wish to create a label for. Then, when I select the
"start voicebox" button, I get this error.
Error
A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 267
Error: Library not registered.
 Yes No

Any suggestions please?
