[DotNetDevelopment] Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application works fine locally -- bombs when I publish application

[RBoyle]

Here is my Imports statement at the top of the code behind:

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word

Here is one of the functions where I'm calling the class

 Sub PrintEmployeeState()

        'Dim strFileName As String
        Dim word As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
        Dim doc As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document


        doc = word.Documents.Open("\\192.168.50.11\kdrive\Forms\EHS
\EMPLOYEE_STATEMENTS.doc")

        doc.PrintOut()
        doc.Close()

    End Sub

** Why is it working perfect when I process it on my local machine, I
post it to the server, and it goes down the tolet and fires off an
exeption error.  Below is the error message that it fires off on the
page load:


Server Error in '/EHSAccidentNearMiss' Application.
