Passing parameters to Word Template using ASP

[Kshitiz Rastogi]

I want to pass the parameters to a Word Template which is present on the IIS
server through ASP which accesses the data from the Oracle server.
I know how to pass the parameters through VB but when i am doing this in
ASP,it is giving error "unable to open the word document." Can u tell me
why? Also,is it necessary to install MS- Word on the client side as well
as server side.

Software used : IIS 4.0,ASP2.0, MS-Word 97, Visual InterDev6.0

Please advice asap.

hi Rusthogi,

We had same kind of situation where in we were able to solve this problem.
The script is something like this...

<script language=vbscript>
dim objWord
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = true
objWord.WindowState=Maximize
objWord.Activate
'objWord.Documents.Open "\\Gisi_siebel\inetpub\wwwroot\BCC_Ora73Test\proj\test3.doc"
objWord.Documents.Open "\\Gisi_siebel\BCC_c\test3.doc"
'objWord.Application.Quit
Set objWord = Nothing
</script>

Try with this...(it opens the word document by name test3.doc that has specified.)

thanks and regards
Pai.
