Hello,
I wrote a VB COM using a reference to msword9.olb that should run under NT from ASP page.
I checked it, and it runs perfect outside ASP but when i try use it from ASP page it get stuck. Here is the code. Can anyone tell me where i do wrong?
1. Dim WordObj As Word.Application
2. Set WordObj = New Word.Application
3. WordObj.Documents.Open "Filename.doc"
etc...
It get stuck right after the line number 2( i.e. it can't create the object).
Should i use some init?
Please help me!!! This is very urgent!!!

Hi leran
Has your web server got ms word installed ?.
This might be the cause of your problem
Also, I haven't tried using ole to something like word over asp before, and I'm not sure if you can actually do it. Might be wrong

You can't use early binding in an ASP page, which what it looks like you are trying to do
try using late binding instead
example:
Dim WordObj
Set WordObj = Server.CreateObject("Word.Application")
I believe http://www.asptoday.com has an article or two on using MS Word/Excel from ASP, but their site is down today so I cannot provide a link for you. Check their site in a day or two

Hi Clunietp
By the sound of it he's using a com dll, being accessed by asp, so what he had is right, if you can access word over IIS
