>Hi all...

>I'm tring to figure out how to create a new MS Word document from a pre-existing template and save it to a UNC path on the fly with ASP. The name of the saved file will be driven by the prime key in a FoxPro database. Any assistance would be appreciated. The web server is NT 4.0 running IIS4.

You can't create a Word object directly from VBScript because Word is an out of process server.
You can create a COM object in VB, C++ or other language that will create and use the Word object.

Now, the question is : What about traffic ?
If you have lots of hits, you'll have to forget using Word from your ASP pages. Just imagine dozens and dozens of Word instances running on your Web server. Your server will crash.
