    automating MSWord problem

    I am using Visual Studion 2005 with VB and ASP developing a web
    application.
    I have automated MSWord to use the spellchecker against a textbox I
    have on a page.
    In the V.S. development mode the spellchecker works great...no
    problems.

    When I publish the website and try the spellchecker I get the following
    error message:
    "System.Unautho rizedAccessExce ption: Retrieving the COM class factory
    for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed
    due to the following error: 80070005".

    I publishing to my own laptop which has IIS 5.1 installed and is my
    webserver.

    I assume I have an permissions issue with something but I can't quite
    figure with what and how to fix it.

    Can anyone assist?

    Thanks.

    Re: automating MSWord problem

    In hopes this helps someone else...

    The error was ocurring when I was trying to open up MSWord via the Web
    app.
    After opening up a case with Microsoft they eventually came back and
    said that MS Office (including Word) does not work as a serverside
    application. It is not designed to work that way, is not supported
    that way and if we try to use it that way the results are very
    unpredictable.

    They pointed me to a 3rd party tool that does spell checking that I am
    in the process of evaluating. So far it seems great. Implements
    easily and is quite versatile. Plus....it works.
