microsoft word object

[Edward Bender]

I am trying to create a microsoft word object on an asp page:
set objW = Server.CreateOb ject("Word.Appl ication")
but get a message saying:
Server object, ASP 0178 (0x80070005)
The call to Server.CreateOb ject failed while checking permissions. Access is
denied to this object.

I am using IIS 5 and XP Pro. Any idea where the permission problem lies?
Thanks,
Ed

Re: microsoft word object

Since you're prbly using NTFS as the filesystem, and since your userid now
is IUSR_machinenam e, that userid will require suitable access permissions to
the Word directory/file resources your script is invoking.
