I have an asp.net web form that will load a word document on the Web server then fill in some information then save the word file to a directory were the user is rediected to and the file is opened. My problem is that users are asked for a password if they are net set as administrators on the server.
How can I set the permissions in word to allow users that are not administraters to open load word on the server.

have you given permission on the word document? right click properties, security, domain users.
 
yes I have the permisions denied actually comes up when the aplication trys to start the word application itself
Code:
wrdApp = New Word.ApplicationClass

the website asked then for a password with I have to give an user that is in the Administraor group. So I suspect that the class is trying to use a resourse that is set only to admin users. but I have searched everywhere I can think of but nothing. Is it possible you need admin permissions to start a process on the server?

Is that Javascript?

I'm not sure i'm not a prgrammer, but i have always done hyperlinks to word documents. Could you give access to folders on the server one by one testing as a user to see which one is the problem by elemination.




 
the problem was not the documents it was that the user did not have permisions to lauch word.
Thanks for your help though
