Creating a new Word document using ASP.NET (VB.NET) "goof1972" <bfung25[ at ]hotmail.com> 14.12.2005 21:36:51 Hello All, I have a VB.NET web application (1.1 framework) that creates a new Word document through interop.word.dll. I have a Windows Server 2003 with Office XP Professional installed. I've also installed the Office XP PIA. In my VB.NET application, I want to create a new Word document using the following code: Dim MSWord As New Word.ApplicationClass Dim doc As Word.Document doc = MSWord.Documents.Add() Unfortunately, when I step through the code, I discover that once the previous code bit was done, doc=Nothing. I was expecting doc to be a Word.document object. There was no errors..nothing! I even checked the Event Logs and could not find any error messages! Why is this happening? It looks like a new Word document is not being created! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Brian
