HTML2Word.cfm custom tag

[HandersonVA]

have you used this custom tab? I downloaded this from coldfusion support and wonder it is working on windows 2003. When I downloaded this file, windows 2003 did not even come out and comments on this file said "This tag will only work on WindowsNT/2000". however shouldn't be working on windows 2003 operating system? can you help? (I use CFMX 6.1 update)

the only part of the document that might possibly cause a problem is the class name the <Cfobject> tag is using to access MS word: Word.Application. As long as you have word installed on your server and it uses the same class name* it should work fine.

* not exactly sure how to figure out what class name to use, though. Maybe try the following and see if you get an error:


<CFTRY>
<CFOBJECT
ACTION="CONNECT"
CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">
<CFCATCH>
<CFTRY>
<CFOBJECT
ACTION="CREATE"
CLASS="Word.Application"
NAME="objWord"
TYPE="COM">

<CFCATCH TYPE="ANY">
<CFABORT SHOWERROR="<FONT COLOR='RED'>Cannot create Word Object<BR>Make sure Word is installed and that ColdFusion has permissions to use the Word COM objects</FONT><BR><B>Error Details:</B> #CFCATCH.MESSAGE#">
</CFCATCH>
</CFTRY>
</CFCATCH>
</CFTRY>

I tried and still got the same error message as below. (btw, the code that you provided is same as that I posted here)
something went wrong with connection to the word object on win2003.
btw, any other custom tag to convert HTML to Word other than I posted? thank you.
