Launching Word from ASP

[Waldy]

Hi there,
I have followed the steps in the MS article 288367 to enable
Word to run from a web page. I have done this several times and it has
worked OK. However, at a customer site I am getting the following error:
Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server. The server is
{000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}. This AppId is the Word.Application
object which the article does not mention, it only talks about the
Word.Document object. You have to create the Application object before you
can create the Document object, so does the Application need the same DCOM
settings to be applied to it?

Hi Bob, thanks for replying, what information in that article did you mean
to draw my attention to? There is no mention of the error or the object
anywhere in the document. I have already followed the steps in the link
that shows you how to run Word under a named account.

I meant the part that says "do not do this."

There is no mention of the error or
the object anywhere in the document. I have already followed the

account.

Given that I have never attempted to automate an Office application in ASP
code, the only help I could offer was that article. Sorry.
