I am really stumped. I am trying to create a new document or trying to
open an existing document locally on a Windows 2000 server thru VB.net
with Word XP (nothing fancy). Everything seems to work fine and I can
see a Word document open on my computer when I try it on my pc. When I
use the same program on the server, I don't recieve any errors, I can
see winword.exe running thru task manager and the document is open
because I can see the Word temp file also on the server. so everything
seems to be okay but word is just not visible. the instance of Word is
not on the taskbar either. If I open Word on the server from Word
itself everything is okay including seeing Word on the taskbar. I have
tried to cascade the windows etc. to no avail and yes word is set to
visible in code. I have used dcomcnfg to add permissions to the Word
instance, set it to open as Administrator, folder permissions, document
permissions and just about every permission known. If anybody has any
thoughts I sure would appreciate it because I am at the end of the
rope.
TIA,
Richard
