I am using Visual Studion 2005 with VB and ASP developing a web
application.
I have automated MSWord to use the spellchecker against a textbox I
have on a page.
In the V.S. development mode the spellchecker works great...no
problems.

When I publish the website and try the spellchecker I get the following
error message:
"System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Retrieving the COM class factory
for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed
due to the following error: 80070005".

I publishing to my own laptop which has IIS 5.1 installed and is my
webserver.

I assume I have an permissions issue with something but I can't quite
figure with what and how to fix it.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks.
 
In hopes this helps someone else...

The error was ocurring when I was trying to open up MSWord via the Web
app.
After opening up a case with Microsoft they eventually came back and
said that MS Office (including Word) does not work as a serverside
application. It is not designed to work that way, is not supported
that way and if we try to use it that way the results are very
unpredictable.

They pointed me to a 3rd party tool that does spell checking that I am
in the process of evaluating. So far it seems great. Implements
easily and is quite versatile. Plus....it works.
