Hi guys,

I'm currently migrating some of our applications from CF5.0/Win'2000 to 
CFMX7.02/Win' 2003.

I've hit a problem with one of the pages which uses a CFOBJECT to call 
Microsoft Word's Spell checker and runs the page content through it. The CF5.0 
server used Word 97 but I've installed Word 2007 on the new server.

The page is giving me the following error:

"An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object.  

The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x80080005 - Server 
execution failed. Note that Windows 95 does not support automatic launch of a 
server, it must be running already."

I found this article on something similiar which seems to think that the 
problem is related to DCOM permissions not being setup...

....I've now done this but I'm still getting the error message.

The code I'm using to call this is:
<cfobject action="create" type="com" class="Word.Application" name="objWord">

Has anybody else been able to resolve this or have any suggestions?

Cheers,
James
