Open Word Doc from asp

Anne Richmond

I got the following code from a website somewhere. When I try to run it I
get the error - Activex component can't create object "Word.Application".

It is running on localhost and test2.doc does exist.

What have I missed?

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>
Dim objWord
Sub Btn1_onclick()
call OpenDoc("Test2.doc")
End Sub
Sub OpenDoc(strLocation)
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = true
objWord.Documents.Open strLocation
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
<TITLE>Launch Word</Title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON NAME=Btn1 VALUE="Open Word Doc">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Is Word installed...? :)

The Office web components should also be installed for this method I
believe.

Where is Test2.doc? You don't have a path at all, and I bet it's not in the
users Temporary Internet Files.
have you lowered your security settings to allow this?
