Re: how can you use mshtml DOM object to grab rendered asp.net page?

The suggestion to run CACLS was in the form of numerous commands that added
user rights via a batch file run on the desktop, not from the web page per
se. This was in order to allow IIS to execute aspx pages on the desktop. I
don't recall the exact error, but a google search on it led me to (brace
yourself) an MSKB article that purported to have the fix. I dutifully
performed the suggested steps (create DOS batch file with CACLS commands)
that Microsoft delineated. Each execution was followed by a system message
that nothing happened. The other suggestion was to add the username
attribute. Visual Web developer's server says the attribute is invalid.

Sigh.

As for Office not being designed to be automated as I am attempting, then
what are Interops for? What's with all the advertisements alluding to such
a capability? Where is Office going next-- seeing as how at least one
(ahem) MS competitor is poised to offer this sort of thing (and then some)?

My head quit spinning. It just hurts now.
