uploading and processing a password protected word document with asp

[vanwout]

Hello,

An ASP page on my IIS server converts an uploaded word document to
HTML, but I'm having a problem with it failing (hanging and popup
requesting password on server!) on password protected word documents.
(web upload, backend processing and web delivery)

I spent the whole day on google to find a solution. What I am looking
for is an asp script or a property that can look at a word document and
just return a yes or no as to whether it is protected, so I can then
refuse to upload it, until the user has removed the protection.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Wout
