My code works fine in my unit tests, but not when I call it directly from IIS. Did you need to do any further configuration of DCOM, IIS or file system security to get your code to work? I have tried your code, but it doesn't work. The Word object is created just fine, but the call to app.Documents.Open always returns null. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
