Word automation access is denied

Ron
Hi there,

We have a web application written in C# that need to deal with MS word
2003. it works fine on developer's machine but when we deployed it on
web server, we got error msg says "Access is denied". So i guess the
code is OK but web server configuraion has to be changed.

I got .Net framework 1.1 installed on webserver and deployed the
webapplication. Then i installed Office 2003. and set DCOM(word)
permission and web folder access permission to ASPNET account.

When i run the application, I got error msg says "Access is denied".
Can anybody help to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance,

Cheers,
Rong

If your web server is running Windows 2003 then the user account needs to be
"Network Service" instead of "ASPNET".

Here are more tips and suggestions for working with Word (and Excel):

Hi, Being fairly new to .NET I am looking for a way to call MS Word from an event on a webform, and after the user is finished save that created document to an SQL Server database. Has anyone done this? Does it seem possible? I followed the instructions from a sample on the Microsoft knowledge base but it only seems to work when creating a VB.NET Windows .EXE, not an VB.NET ASP app.

Hi, I'm trying to write: Dim objWord As New Word.Application in the codebehind page but I'm getting the error written below. The question is what is the correct way to use word or any other office automation in asp.net applications? In the old (asp) days I used to write the code in a com. Today we can use the visual basic codebehind page but - is it the right way? should I change the ASP.NET permissions

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
