Newby : Access denied creating com object

[JK]

Hello,

When I try to create a Word application object from a webform using
server.createobject("Word.Application") I get this error "Access denied"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help!

Since you are using web forms, then you need to check the permissions on
your object to ensure that the user token that the ASP.NET worker process is
running under (by default, MACHINE\ASPNET) has the appropriate permissions.

You may also want to consider creating an interop assembly, which will give
you strong typing and make using this COM object as easy as using a .NET
assembly. VS.NET will do this for you, and you can also use the SDK tool
tlbimp.exe.
