Word Automation Error

[Ruben]

Hello!

I have the following code in an .asp file:

Set wrd = CreateObject("WORD.Application")
Set doc = wrd.Documents.Open("c:/doc1.dot")
Response.Write "Opened"
doc.SaveAs ("C:/newfile.doc")
wrd.Quit

I get an error when loading this .asp file:

Call rejected by Callee.

I looked up articles for this error. Nothing helpfull.

IN ADDITION: !!!! THIS WORKS ON SOME MACHINES, NOT ON OTHERS !!!!

Any help will be greatly appreceated

Ruben, I've never seen that particular error message, but perhaps the reason
it works on some machines and not others is due to the security settings
on the IE browsers.

In order for a script (and also perhaps an object in a script) to read from
and write to the user's local drive, the "Access data sources across domains"
security setting must be enabled.

P.S. You also might want to use backslashes instead of forwardslashes in
your file path statements!
