Word automation from ASP Page

[David]

I am trying to use ASP to create the word.application using the following
code:

Set objApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set objDoc = objApplication.documents.add


I get an error stating that the object cannot be created.

Any suggestions??

I still get this message:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

does word need to be loaded on the web server???
