Problem with Word Interop ,NET c#

[kilgj001]

I am having endless problems with getting a .net website to interact with the Word Interop Assembles, everything is setup, and all i am having trouble with at the moment is the Documents.Open() method.

the current error is
"System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A1499): The document name or path is not valid"
but the path is definately valid.

has anyone experienced this problem ? have any ideas ?

im calling the library like this;

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

and the function that calls it is like this;

public string openFile(string filename){
try{

object fileName = "

http://serveraddress/test.doc";

object readOnly = false;
object isVisible = true;
object missingValue = Type.Missing;

this.doc = this.word1.Documents.Open(ref fileName, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref isVisible, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,ref missingValue);


this.doc.Activate();
return("true");
}catch(Exception e){
return(e.ToString());
}
}

I am using a little different approach.Here is the code:

	object myFalse = false;
	object myTrue = true; 
	object missingValue = Type.Missing;
	string workname = @"C:\Inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\....\Doc.doc";[/URL]
	Word.ApplicationClass wApp2 = new Word.ApplicationClass();

			// open document
	object objFileName = workname;
	wApp2.Documents.Open(ref objFileName,ref missingValue,
		ref myFalse, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, 
		ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
		ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
		ref myTrue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
		ref missingValue, ref missingValue);
	// replace known fields
			
			 		
	//save
			 
	wApp2.Documents.Save(ref myTrue,ref missingValue);

	// close and quit		 
			 
			 
	wApp2.Documents.Close(ref myFalse,ref missingValue,ref missingValue);
	wApp2.Quit(ref myFalse,ref missingValue,ref missingValue);

This is the working code. I am using Microsoft Word 11.0 Object and works fine so far on ASP.NET web application.

Hope this will be helpfull to you.

You know that Word is not suitable for use in a server environment? It's not reentrant.
