word automation question

[demoti]

I'm trying to open word from a asp.net-page.

Private Sub ImageButtonWord_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles ImageButtonWord.Click

Dim aWordApp As Word.ApplicationClass
Dim aWordDoc As Word.Document

aWordApp = New Word.ApplicationClass()
aWordDoc = New Word.Document()

aWordApp.Visible = True
aWordApp.ShowMe()

aWordDoc.Activate()

End Sub


there are no errors, but word (2000) does not open as expected. i know these commands would be enough to make it work in VB...

any idea's?
