When you tested it on the local machine, your were running with the client and the server on the same PC. Which also had Office installed.

Now, you are running it on a server which may or may not be in the same side of the world from your client, and which in all lieklyhood does not have office installed.

And you expect it to work.

The commands are executed on the server. So the process is opened on the server. If it has Office installed, it will open the document. On the server. Where you as the client can't see it.

Processes executed on the server stay there. You cannot (without producing an ActiveX control and somehow persuading the client to install it and Office) run a process on the server to open a document on the client. Period.

If you need the client to open a document, send it to them.

Based upon the fact that it worked on your local machine but not on the server, the first place you should check should be the file path. Local paths don't always translate to server paths. Figure out what path you are using to open the document on the server and then try to access the document yourself using that path.

Next, do you have Microsoft Word installed on the server? If you are using the Interop libraries, I believe you need to have a full copy of Word installed on the server in order for it to work.

Finally, do you have error checking in place? It looks like you might have eaten an error earlier in the open document process. If so, you could have allowed the processing to continue even after the error. This would allow you to go to this point before the next error stopped you cold. Check your error handling and see if the document is properly loading before you get to this point. Maybe it sees the document but cannot open it for some reason (wrong version, bad permissions, etc.)
