Does anyone know why I get the error

-2147417848: Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

on the line indicated in the snippet of code?

Code: 
    strWorksheet = "tblComputerSystemInformation"
    strMotherBoardSerialNumber = MotherBoardSerialNumber()
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("tblLicences")
    
    If intLicences < 4 Then
        With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("tblLicences")
            For lngNewRow = 2 To 11
                If .Range("A" & lngNewRow) = "" Then
                    Exit For
                Else
                End If
            Next lngNewRow
            
            .Range("A" & lngNewRow) = strMotherBoardSerialNumber     'ERRORS HERE
            .Range("B" & lngNewRow) = GetBIOSSerialNumber()             
            .Range("C" & lngNewRow) = GetHardDiskSerialNumberHex1("C:\") 
            
            ThisWorkbook.Sheets(strWorksheet).Select
            
            With ActiveSheet.ListObjects(strWorksheet).Range

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Did the code ever work?
What is behind MotherBoardSerialNumber()
How has strMotherBoardSerialNumber been dimmed (what type)?

If you move to next instruction (.Range("B" & lngNewRow) = GetBIOSSerialNumber()) does it work or not?

Bye

Initially the code did work.
strMothherBoardSerialNumber is a string.
When it works then all three lines work.

I think I have solved the issue. Before this code I was not using the correct code to turn off a filter. Rectifying this seems to have solved the issue.

Spoke too soon.

Here is the whole Sub. Note that "tblComputerSystemInformation" and "tblLicences" are Excel tables.

Code:

    strWorksheet = "tblComputerSystemInformation"
    strMotherBoardSerialNumber = MotherBoardSerialNumber()
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("tblLicences")

How can we reproduce your problem??

Add these Debug.Print lines in this position:
VBA Code: 
'previous code
            Next lngNewRow
Debug.Print ">>>"
Debug.Print "A", strMotherBoardSerialNumber
Debug.Print "B", GetBIOSSerialNumber()
Debug.Print "C", GetHardDiskSerialNumberHex1("C:\")

            .Range("A" & lngNewRow) = strMotherBoardSerialNumber         'MOTHER BOARD SERIAL NUMBER, MotherBoardSerialNumber 'AARAAR
            .Range("B" & lngNewRow) = GetBIOSSerialNumber()              'BIOS SERIAL NUMBER, BIOSserialnumber
            .Range("C" & lngNewRow) = GetHardDiskSerialNumberHex1("C:\") 'C DRIVE SERIAL NUMBER, CDriveSerialNumber
'further code
Then run the macro.
When you get the error and enter the Debug mode, open the vba "Immadiate Windows" (Contr-g should get you there; or Menu /View /Immediate Window)

Copy what you read in that window and paste it in your next message.

Unfortunately I get the Restarting Excel before I am able to check what the error message is. I just about managed it last time.

A 123490EN400015
B HN0293FBC00452
C 4C958C5B

It will work OK for a few runs then I get the issue.

I have been having memory problems when I get a dialog box telling me that my memory is low.
I also halted the code to manually place the mother board serial number and I get the restarting excel dialog box again.

The debug information are to be read when you enter debug mode, not when the macro runs ok.

Anyway I suspect that the problem lays in the things that are not shown here:
-the line strMotherBoardSerialNumber = MotherBoardSerialNumber() where and how fetches the board serial number?
-how does the statement GetBIOSSerialNumber() work?
-same question about = GetHardDiskSerialNumberHex1("C:\")

Probably you have installed an add-in that make available those commands, but that is beyond our investigation possibility

Sorry, I am unable to help; hope someone else cold enter the discussion...

I did add the addin called PowerQuery which I don't know how to get rid of as I don't require it anymore.
