Re: Connect/Create com opbject to MS Word Viewer
My guess is that the Viewer would have a different com object name. I'd recommend installing the viewer on your workstation and invoking it there. Otherwise, you'll need to install the full version of Word on the server. You can't expect consistent results otherwise.

Re: Connect/Create com opbject to MS Word Viewer
I'm taking a guess here, because the MS Word Viewer 2003 exe is wordview.exe and not word.exe, wouldn't that change the class in the object call to wordview.application? just a shot in the dark..
