security error, I think!

Hi I am trying to open a powerpoint app from a asp.net webpage but get a non
access error when I try to create the PowerPoint.Application. Just wondering
if anyone knows what directories it may be trying to write in as I was
thinking off adding permissions to aspnet for those directories. Thanks.

Are you trying to automate PowerPoint on the server side? Office application
automation on the server side is not recommended/supported by Microsoft.
Those apps are meant to be user-interactive ones.

Hi thanks for the response. Yes I was trying to create a .net web
application that would take data from a database and create a powerpoint
slide that the user could save on a client machine that contains this data.
I found the link below and it also mentions that it is not recommended.
