Hi,

I have also found that when you do com interop from within a
webservice/webpage that the com component gets created under the ASPNet
accout regardless of who you impersonate in the web.config file. What we
did was create a com+ application and drop the DLL in there, but I don't
think you could do that with the office dll, but you could try. The other
option you have is to run the application on Windows 2003 server where the
com component will run under the account you specify.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Paul
