PHP COM Word document

[tlhawkins]

I found this code:

<?php
//1. Instanciate Word
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");
//2. specify the MS Word template document (with Bookmark TODAYDATE inside)
$template_file = "C:/reminder.doc";
//3. open the template document
$word->Documents->Open($template_file);
//4. get the current date MM/DD/YYYY
$current_date = date("m/d/Y");
//5. get the bookmark and create a new MS Word Range (to enable text substitution)
$bookmarkname = "TODAYDATE";
$objBookmark = $word->ActiveDocument->Bookmarks($bookmarkname);
$range = $objBookmark->Range;
//6. now substitute the bookmark with actual value
$range->Text = $current_date;
//7. save the template as a new document (c:/reminder_new.doc)
$new_file = "c:/reminder_new.doc";
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs($new_file);
//8. free the object
$word->Quit();
$word->Release();
$word = null;
?>

I'm using winXPpro IIS5.1 and PHP4 and it gives me this error:
Warning: (null)(): Invoke() failed: Exception occurred. Source: Microsoft Word Description: Could not open macro storage. in c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\php\test.php

on line 7

the path to the file is correct... anybody know what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks
