Office Autmation error..server-side

Hi Everyone,

I am facing an uphill task to solve the problem related to office automation
at server-side. The fundamental idea is to automate the MS word document. I
have managed to write a module in VB and packaged it in a ActiveX dll which
calls the MS word document to generate postscript file. The dll works fine
with the standalone application meaning - it can be invoked from VB client.
The dll works perfectly when deployed and invoked from asp page (IIS 5.1 &
Windows XP) but it fails when deployed in Windows 2003 server with IIS6.0.
The error thrown is

SMS error '8000401a'

Automation error The server process could not be started because the
configured identity is incorrect. Check the username and password.

/4Children/test.asp, line 14

What might be the cause? Any help is appreciated.

The application is developed based on the article -

Thanks,

Milan G
