I have a VBscript script in WEB server(IIS4.0) as following:
<html>
.
.
<body>
<%
set ObjWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
.
.
%>
</body>
</html>

But when "click" it, the Explorer said:
ActiveX component cann't create object :'CreateObject'.
What is the problem? Please help me,Thank you.

Is Word installed on the server?

Assuming that it is, is the user account that the asp is running under IUSR_machinename or an authenticated account.

Does this account have NT read/execute access to the ...\Office folder (and all of its files and subfolders)?

I have a word file wj.doc and it contains a table, my purpose is as
following:

<%
set objword = CreateObject('Word.Application')

' the following script does not work, It always tell me
' It can not open the file
objword.Documents.Open "http://myserver/mj.doc"

objword.Visible = true
set ObjCell = objword.Documents(1).Tables(1).Rows(2).Cells(2)
ObjCell.Range.Text = "Something I select from database using ADO"
%>

If the script is executed in WEB Server, First I must install Office in
WEB Server. Then how can I let the Web Server know the
Object("Word.Application") as in-the-process object ? and If the client does
not intall Office, then what is the result of script "objword.Visible =
true".
If the script is executed in client's Internet Explorer, then I can not
change the Cells' text

If the script is executed in client's Internet Explorer, then I can not

change the Cells' text because the text is fetched from the sever-side
database using ADO.
Please help, thanks a lot.
