Hi Cam,

I successfully do Word automation on the server-side in my projects - mainly
to perform MailMerge generation of documents. Let me know if you would need
assistance.

I'm not sure if I understand your question
are your app runnig on the client-side
or on the server side?

server-side:
1) don't do it
2) which user do you use have it desktop access? (the one in the
app-pool)
3) did you loged in with this user one-time (install stuff...)?
4) don't do it - read their is a kb
5) buy a library for that..

client-side:
1) try to reuse the word.applilcation (getactiveobject).
2) think about buying a library for that

hope this helps

It is server side
1) didn't want to do it, really, really didn't want to do it.
2) created a new user just for this purpose
3) Yip, didn't some silly pop-up stopping the process from running.
Ran word and did some setup stuff.
4) Read the KB, still have to do it. Porting legacy code that depends
on this. It is either do this or continue on supporting the VB6 COM
code, which brings me back to #1
5) I haven't heard of any libraries, what would you suggest?

Thanks for you help.
