Create MSWord object

[Ngoc Phu]

Hi all,

In my web page, I want to create a Microsoft Word object, I do this:
Word.Application app = ( Word.Application )
Server.CreateObject("Word.Application")
but it always returns the following error at the above line:

"Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider
granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity.
ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or
Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not
impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity
impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically
IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer,
choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the
appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the
boxes for the desired access.
"

I also follow the instruction:
- add <identity impersonate="true"/> into web.config file
- add ASP.NET user into Microsoft Office directory' s access list with
Read & Execute, Read and Write rights.

but it's still in vain.

Someone has solve this before ? Help me !

Thanks a lots.

If you must automate word on the server you could considerer remoting, run
your word automation code in a windows nt service this service runs as a
user.

I also think change security setting and configuration setting to fix one
problem is not always the best approach as the new setting may not be an
optimal configuration for the rest of your app.

Why do you need to automate word?

I need to use it because I want to convert from .doc file to .htm file
with Unicode encoding.

I've already used rtf.dll to convert, but it returns in ANSI encoding.
