Hello out there,

a friend asked me to post this question for him:

--------------------------------------------------------------
last time I tried out a sample code which I have seen in a
Visual Basic book. It just starts a Word-session opens a new file,
writes some Data and then saves the file. Its exactly this:

    Dim myWord As New Word.Application
    myWord.Documents.Add
    myWord.Selection.Font.Size = 20
    myWord.Selection.TypeText "Hello World"
    myWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "c:\temp\newdoc.doc"
    myWord.Quit

The program run on some machines. But I have 2 machines on which I
get the error message:

 "access denied"

when "myWord.Documents.Add" is to be executed.
The same phenomenon appears with excel.

What�s wrong with my machine??? Can somebody help me please.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Please mail me your answer(s) - I don't read this newsgroups regularly.

 Thanks in advance!

Anja
