Subject: RE: Creating a Word.Application COM object needs a new instance o f
WI NWORD.EXE?
Well, the server has been restarted, and the "Quit" command does indeed
clean up the instance. However, if I run into any errors at all before the
Quit command (and I'm expecting a few while I'm developing the page), I run
into the same situation again - the instance of word is not cleaned up, I
cannot remove it, and a new instance is created when the page is loaded
again.
I'm sure someone has created word documents on the fly using the office
automation tools before (server-side that is), so can someone point me to a
resource that would help me through this process? Thanks.

Are you closing off the COM object once you've finished your work?
If not, then you're leaving the connection active, which can sap
resources badly
