The message filter indicated that the application is busy

[mtermoul]

Hi,
I'm trying to write an ASP.NET page using VS.NET 2003, Office 2003, Win 2000
but I keep gettin this error:
"The message filter indicated that the application is busy" this is the code.
=============== =============== =============== ========
Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
Dim oWordApplicatio n As Word.Applicatio n
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim strTemp As String
oWordApplicatio n = New Word.Applicatio n
oDoc = oWordApplicatio n.Documents.Add
oDoc.Activate()
oWordApplicatio n.Selection.Typ eText("Hi This My First Test Document")
oWordApplicatio n.Selection.Typ eParagraph()
oWordApplicatio n.Selection.Typ eText("Please resd the following lines carefully!")
oWordApplicatio n.Selection.Typ eParagraph()
oWordApplicatio n.Selection.Typ eText("Continue reading on the next page...")
oWordApplicatio n.Selection.Typ eParagraph()
oDoc.SaveAs("E: \Inetpub\wwwroo t\SampleWebApp\ WebQA\MyFirstDo c1.doc")
oDoc.Close()
oWordApplicatio n.Quit()
Label2.Text = " Word Doc is saved..."
End Sub
=============== =============== =============== ========
This error only occurs on the second time click on line oDoc.Activate() line, I also tried all of the followings but still the same problem.
A- I noticed after the error the Winword.exe process still running on the task manager and I cannot kill it.
B- I also tired a simpler version of the code create a oWordApp object and oWordApp.Quit() the same issue I think ASP cannot quit the process.
C- I tried the same code on a Windows Form and it worked.
D- I tried to increase the TerminateTime = infinite on Machine.Config file of the .NET framework configuration but still the same issue.
E- I assigned Admin rights to ASPNET user but the same Issue.
F- I also noticed a file Normal.dot created after the error on my system drive (E:\Normal.dot) which I cannot delete it says "File in use"
Conclusion: My ASP.NET application cannot terminate the Word process!
Can anyone give me some other suggestions?

Thank you.

I've done some similar work in C#, and ran into similar problems when I
was passing a System.Reflecti on.Missing class reference for most of the
parameters. Try passing some values in the oDoc.Close() method or the
oWordApplicatio n.Quit() method to get it to work. The parameters refer
to things like "Save" and whatever.
