The following error appears in the "System" Event viewer when attempting to launch MS Word on a 2003 Server from within an ActiveXDLL.

Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server using DefaultLaunchPermssion. The server is:
{000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
The user is IUSR_WEBAPP/HAMPDENTECH, SID=S-1-5-21-1874863252-1155275375-3567489175-1118.

I have gone into DCOM Config for Microsoft Word and have given the user permission to lanch on the security tab and have also given the user "access" permission. The error still occurs.

Interestingly, when we change the Identity tab to always log on as the built-in administrator account, we don't get that error but instead get an error stating the the DCOM application has timed out.

The DLL that launches Word does work when called from within a small VB6 application that is used to test the DLL's. The only problems we are having now is calling the DLL from within IIS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this functionality is a critical part of our application. We just installed a new server this past weekend (previous server was 2000) and this seems to be the last hurdle we need to jump.

Thanks,
