COM errors can be pretty tough to debug, especially when dealing with automating office. Here are a few recommendations: 1. Make sure you have followed Microsoft's directions in setting up an Office application for server side automation. here are a couple of references... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257757 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288367/ 2. Reproduce what you are doing in VBA, and try to run it as a macro in Word on the server...you may encounter errors that you didn't anticipate. 3. Try to make sure that only one Word process is running at a time. I've had bad luck with multiple excel processes trying to produce reports at the same time, and had to implement my own locking mechanism to limit it to one process. Also, sometimes the processes you spawn are not easy to clean up...I've made good use of sysinternals pskill.exe utility to get rid of orphan Word and Excel processes. -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:240216 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
