Hi Joe,
Thanks for the response. Here's more detail:
I don't want the web user to see the Word doc. Instead, I am taking their html
form input, putting into a Word doc and emailing it to someone else
Yes Word is installed on the web server. The server is W2000 with OfficeXP
I have set up IIS to run with user permissions (not anonymous logon)
I am not familiar with dcomcnfg.exe so I'll look into that but do I need to if
IIS is running with permissions.
Also, I don't know what you mean "running out of process"
.
When I run with IIS I get a different error message: "Server action failed"
Thanks,
Fred
