Creating a document with Word Automation

[lynn]

When I try to create a document through Word automation, I get the message "Could not open macro storage". Here's my code snippet:

set x=server.createobject("Word.Application&quot
x.documents.add ' This is the line that crashes

This same code works in VB; so, I know it must have something to do with either IIS 5.0 or VBScript.

Any thoughts?

Hi - I am having the exact same problem. When I run code on my win 98/PWS machine no problem. Have you found the solution? Thanks

U couldn't use Server.CreateObject... with word aplication
Because the object is created on the server not on the client side...

if u are trying to generate WORD documents try this way
U have to put in your asp file(at begining) this line
Response.ContentType="application/msword"
and all the html tags is translated to WORD and IE open in his window an embeded WORD object...
This solve my problem ________

I think I may have the solution. It has to do with win2K/IIS5.0 permissions. There is an article on MSDN which addresses this.

Hope this helps.
