Automation of excel and word
-
all, We are using office automation to convert excel and word to htm we had severa issues like access denied exception etc. and for this issue to solve we followed KB article of MS to configure office under specific user account, but the problem is because security issues we cant follow KB article(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288367/), by looking at KB article what i felt is they are trying to create a profile for local administrator user. So my question can any body have any alternate for this?? We accept tht we went for bad design, but we dont have any other alternative as this is a must requirement from customer. Please any cluse any information you have.

Another option that you may want to look at is impersonation, your application may impersonate another user who has enough permission to work with the automation.

Any chance to convince the client that the automation is not a recommendation, may give the Microsoft documentation, and consider a third party component that supports the same thing.
