Creating Word Document Issue

[Arvind P Rangan]

Hi all,

trying to create word document using following syntax in c#

private Word.ApplicationClass oWordApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();

Application throws error as :
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

The ASP.NET process is not authorized to access the requested resource. For
security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is
'{machinename}\ASPNET', which has limited privileges. Consider granting
access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET process identity.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer,
choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the
"{machinename}\ASPNET" user. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the
Write box in the Allow column.

But as per the security goes, i have ensured that machine\aspnet user has
full access to the folder and even i gave the full access to C: but still
the same error is showing. Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks
Arvind

Arvind,

In the document
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;257757 you will find
that Microsoft is strongly against using office automation on server side.
Nevertheless if you insist, you can do it. Try giving permission to ASPNET
user account to access word application
object. It can be done with dcomcnfg.exe
