Mystery compile error "User-defined type not defined" at DataObject

I am using simple code in Word 2016 and getting the error pointing to the statement below

     Dim MyData As DataObject

Installed references are Microsoft Active X Data Objects 6.1 Library, Microsoft Office 16.0 Object Library, Microsoft Word 16.0 Object Library and Microsoft Data Access Components Installed Version

Can anyone suggest what I am missing?

Thanks much!

Do following. Should work for you.

Open References in Word VBA
Click on Browse
Pick up this file and click Open
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FM20.DLL

Not it will add Forms 2.0 library. This should work now.

Let me know if above doesn't work.
Sincerely yours,

Had the same issue (debug error “User-defined type not defined” at Dim doLink As DataObject) with this http://www.ourhints.com/vba/how-to-paste-lotus-notes-link-into-outlook-email/ script in Outlook 2016 and found the file located under c:\Windows\SysWOW64\FM20.DLL being the solution for that two.
