word access right

[selen]

Hello,
My problem is that: I want to open a word document and writing something in
it then save it.But it give me granting access error.and say that:To grant
ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose
"Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate
user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the
desired access .I made what it say.But still doesnt work.Any idea??

Thanks

The problem is with ASP.NET not having permissions to launch/access MS Word
on the web server. My advice would be create an WordAutomation acct, and,
using DCOMCNFG, assign appropriate permissions for launch and access to this
acct for Microsoft Word Docs. Take a look at Q288367. This should give you
the basics for setting this up.

Hi -

Are you trying to instantiate Word on the server? That's unsupported (Word
is not multi-user), so you're likely to run into issues under load.

If on the other hand you simply want to open a Word doc and manipulate the
contents, then it is a simple permissions issue as another person responded.

Hope that helps!

Mike
