can anybody please suggest me any solution.As I am also got some solutions that say me to change the access permission for the Word dlls using the DCOMCNFG but still getting the same error.but on some time it works properly...so I think the code is not an issue. And also how I will find which account is using my current application.(ex.Network Service, Administrator etc)

Solution

  • I found the solution,

    using DCOMCNFG.exe open it and go to Component Service ->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config-> check for Microsoft Office Word option and select tab Security.Here you will get the options for Launch and Activation Permission->select Customize and click on edit and the add the user that will runs your Application with full access.

    That's all ,this resolve my problem hop this will help.
