I need to automate Microsoft Office in a Windows 2008/IIS7 64bit environment via ASP (not ASP.NET since apparently, this doesn't work in a 64bit environment, unless someone can tell me otherwise).
I have followed the instructions here:
http://support.microsoft.c
And it works fine under Windows 2003/IIS6. It doesn't work under 2008. There is no IWAM account, so I suspect this may be the cause. I have added Network Services as an alternative to the IWAM account, but that hasn't resolved the problem. The MSACCESS.EXE process starts up under the IUSR account but then hangs. It does not get as far as opening the database I need to automate. Even issuing a Quit command to the application does not work.
Help!

Hi,
probably permission based problem - try enabling security audit for object access on the relevant disks and check the event log for access failure events.
Cheers.
