I have a web service the uses MS Word to do mail merge and printing
documents.
When I run the service on my development box, it works.
When I run in on the server, I get "Access Denied" when it tries to start
Word.
At first, I was getting a dcom launch failure in the event log, but I fixed
that with DCOMCNFG settings.
But I'm still getting Access Denied.
I tried setting the user for Word (in dcomcnfg) as a local acmin account on
the server.
I tried putting aspnet in the admin group.
I tried setting the Credentials for the web service before calling the
method.
None of these has worked.

Any ideas, theories, suggestions?
Thanks! ---Selden McCabe
