I have code that uses Interop to create Word documents from within a VS2005
web application. My code either creates a document or opens an existing
document in Microsoft Word 2003 to enable a user to make changes and save it.

This all works fine from my development laptop, however when I copy the site
to our web server, I have an issue. Initially I got access permission errors
but after changing security permission on the DCOM Microsoft Word Document, I
got past this. However, now when I run the code from the server, Word never
opens to the user. There are instances of winword.exe in the task manager,
but the application never opens.

Here's a section of my code that creates a Word document based on a template:

Dim word As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
Dim wobj As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
word.Activate()
Try
wobj = word.Documents.Add(fname)
wobj.Activate()
With word
.Visible = True
.Activate()
.ChangeFileOpenDirectory("c:\Proposal\")
.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(sName)
End With

I then go on to replace bookmarks, make other changes and then save the
document again.

Once again, when I run my site on my development laptop in VS2005, it all
works perfectly. My primary problem is that an instance of Word never opens
up to be visible to the user.

Please help?
