Run-time error '429' ActiveX component can't create object

Hi,
I am trying to generate excel report output from access by click of a button. Part of the code is as follows:

Dim lngColumn As Long
Dim xlx As Object, xlw As Object, xlc As Object
Dim DBS As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim blnEXCEL As Boolean, blnHeaderRow As Boolean

blnEXCEL = False

'If we do not want the first row we set Header to false
blnHeaderRow = False

'Establish an EXCEL application object
On Error Resume Next
Set xlx = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set xlx = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
blnEXCEL = True
End If
Err.Clear

I worked on development on a server and worked fine. However when I have moved the code and database to the desktop of mine I am having
the following error in the line

Set xlx = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
I cannot figure out how to fix this. I appreciate any help for resolution. Thanks.
