I have a strange problem.

 

I get an "Access Denied Error" when I try to instantiate a Word.Application in my custom vb.net class from an ASPX page.

 

Dim wrdApp As New Word.Application

 

How can I fix?

 

Here is the error:

 

Access is denied.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

 

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

 

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

 

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 appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Maybe you have to run "dcomcnfg"

 

I have german Windows XP, so I will write down how to do:

 

1. Start->Ausführen... (the command promt)

2. type dcomcnfg

3. a window should appear

4. On the left side is a tree, open first node.

5. Open the computer node

6. Open the next subnode

7. Open DCOM-Konfiguration

8. Search for "Microsoft Word-Document"

9. Right-Click (with mouse) the Word-Document

10. Eigenschaften / us: Properties

11. Go to tab "Security"

12. Change the three properties to "Anpassen" -> All radiobutons have to select the second entry.

13. Klick on the button "Edit" or some like this.

14. Add the ASP.NET user and gibe him full control.

15. Do step 13+14 for the three properties!

16. Try again!

Consider:

 

For the solution I typed at the moment, you have NOT to use following I have typed before some months...

or this way:

 

web.config:

 

<system.web>

<identity impersonate="true" userName="Administrator" password="admin"/>

</system.web>
