    <p>The short answer is that this isn't supported by Microsoft so don't expect it to work or work reliably.</p> <p>The long answer is that the issue is permissions and how Word works. The link you posted shows how to get around this for Excel but this won't work for Word. The problem is that when Word is called for the first time it wants to display a welcome dialog where the user can enter initials and other stuff. When it's run via IIS, the dialog doesn't show and the COM object can't be created. There are supposed to be some ways to disable this dialog but Microsoft only seems to make them available to volume licenses. Other than that, the way to do it is to try to run Word on the server using the IIS built-in user account and get rid of the first time user dialog that way. </p> <p>Another way I've done this back in the classic ASP days was to use a COM+ object with its own processing space and user permissions. This worked well but I haven't tried it with ASP.NET. This is a good option if your net admin doesn't want to give permissions to the IIS built-in directly.</p> <p>The last solution is to scrap using Word entirely and use a different method to generate your documents. This is the direction I went because memory usage issues between Word and IIS kept causing server crashes during load testing which were unacceptable.</p> <p>Additional Info:</p> <p>As for alternative methods dynamically generating Word docs, you can use a RTF template file. Just create your own tokens in the text where you can do a find/replace on the data fields. Word reads/writes RTF files so you just have to train users sometimes. There are also third party tools available that will create Word docs but they're pricey and I haven't used any of them.</p>

    2. COso! word report is not okay for web app? so sometimes we need to use word report, how should we do? and why some developers show their tutorials and sample code like [Codeproject](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/wordapplication.aspx)[C# Corner](http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/amrish_deep/WordAutomation05102007223934PM/WordAutomation.aspx#ReadAndPostComment)

    3. CO@CMMaung - It can work, which is what the code samples show, but it can be very frustrating in the deployment and in the overall reliability of the solution. It's one thing to get it to run on a development box and another to get it up and running and stable in a production environment.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
