Server.CreateObject - permissions error question

Server.CreateObject - permissions error question

Visual Studio320
I'm trying to create a Word document on the server via ASP, but am

getting the following error which I know is a result of the IUSR

account not having Read/Execute permissions to the relevant DLL:

Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'

Server.CreateObject Access Error

/techhelpdesk/test.asp, line 11

The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions.

Access is denied to this object

My question simply is: does anyone know which dll file is used when

creating a Word document? I've tried using Filemon to pin it down, but

it doesn't report a permissions error strangely enough.

Thanks for any help.

Re:Server.CreateObject - permissions error question

(Just for info, the line causing the "problem" is:

Set WordApp = server.CreateObject("word.application")

)

Re:Server.CreateObject - permissions error question

Thanks Bob, quite a useful article. This, together with several other

Google Groups threads on the same subject, has backed up my theory that

this is a permissions problem with a dll file. The only problem is

unfortunately I still don't know which SYSTEM32 dll file is used when

creating a Word document using

server.CreateObject("word.appl=ADication") - if anyone could help me

with this I'd be very grateful.

Thanks again
