hi,

here is the code to open the word document.


add a COM reference to your project by right clicking in the solution explorer on References->Add Reference

Click on the COM tab and look for the Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library

just declare the line below in your class:

private Word.ApplicationClass WordApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();
 
 
if (this.openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
  {
     object fileName = openFileDialog1.FileName;
     object readOnly = false;
 
       object isVisible = true;
       object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
       WordApp.Visible = true;
 
      Word.Document aDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(ref fileName, ref missing,ref readOnly, ref missing, ref                  missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref isVisible);
 
        aDoc.Activate();
 
}

Did you get to solve this issue? If you have I am very interested to know how you did it because it is driving me nuts. I have tried everything I could possibly find on the website and more. Help please if you can.

Hi,

the account running the web app (network service) needs access to the Word COM object

use dcomcnfg.msc

[sandu]

as you said the user account under which runs the asp.net don't have enough rights to call in execution the MS Word. One way is of course to use dcomconfig enable the asp.net but what if somebodey tries to hack you? you should use impersonation because is more safe.
