Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[Badis]

I'm doing a server side automation(I know it's bad but..) and its working
fine locally and when accessing it from a remote machine using web browser is
was giving me this error"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with
CLSID
{000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error:
80070005". so I configured the server using dcomcnfg as described in this
link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288368/
and know this error now is gone but I'm having this error:"Object reference
not set to an instance of an object." when it comes to the last line of this
code:
Object oName = "C:\\improvement.doc";
Word.Application wrdApp;
Word._Document wrdDoc;
wrdApp = new Word.Application();
wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(ref oName, ref oFalse,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
wrdDoc.Select();

So, Why it's telling me that wrdDoc.Select(); "is not set to an instance of
an object." when it's accessed from a remote machine but not when running it
locally in debug mode!!?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QmFkaXM=?=,

Object oName = "C:\\improvement.doc";
Word.Application wrdApp;
Word._Document wrdDoc;
wrdApp = new Word.Application();
wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(ref oName, ref oFalse,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
wrdDoc.Select();

So, Why it's telling me that wrdDoc.Select(); "is not set to an instance of
an object." when it's accessed from a remote machine but not when running it
locally in debug mode!!?

Try declaring wrdDoc like this

Word.Document wrdDoc

You aren't supposed to use the classes whose names begin with an underscore.
Don't know if this will do it for you, but worth a try.
