Hi - I am trying to use MS Word as an automation server from ASP. I am having problems with permissions. When I attempt to run ASP script (basically starts an instance of word, opens a document, saves document) with IIS anonymous access set to IUSR_<server> or IWAM_<server> this is what happens: an instance of Word gets created as a process, but can't access document. When I try to 'End' Word process I get access denied. I have found this documented on MSDN and tried their fixes (use dcomcnfg.exe to set Word to run under interactive user, set permissions for the word document to include IUSR and IWAM, gave IUSR and IWAM full control, etc) still does not work. Now here is the strange part when I change the anonymous access setting for the web site to "Administrator" script works fine - but only if I am logged onto the win2K server which is running the web site as administrator. Other wise I get a failed to execute remote procedure call. I know that I must be over looking something simple - can't be that difficult to have anonymous web users interact with a Word document - or can it?
Thanks
John
