Word Templates

[noGuru]

Why can't I create a Word Application object when I execute the following line of code:

Set oWordApp = Server.CreateObject("Word.Application.9")

It gives the error that I can't create an Out of Process component.
I've got Word2000 installed and I got the ProgID above from the OLE/COM Object Viewer, therefore my PC must recognize the ProgID.

Further, how can I use a Word template (with bookmarks), to send parameters to from within ASP code? I managed to do it in VB, but I don't know if it's going to work in ASP (if only I can get past the CreateObject statement...)

Thanks

I've managed to write a dll component in VB, which creates a Word.Application.9 object, exposing a method which sends parameters to bookmarks in a Word Template.

When I create an instance of this object in ASP code (VBScript) and call the method, it works perfectly on the Server (where the dll is registered): It sends parameters to the bookmarks and opens up a Word document, based on the template, in a new session on the taskbar.

The problem is: How can a client machine, when executing the specific page, obtain the Word document that is created on the Server? Do I miss something here or is it impossible to create a Word document on the server and send it to the client machine together with the executed html code?

I want the client to be able to print the Word document on his own PC.

Any of you Guru's out there, please give some advise!!

Thanks
