yes, referring from bin folder only. You need to add the dlls to bin folder.

Does this reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word or Excel refer to the GAC assembly or to the bin folder?

I want a code that should refer to the sin folder dlls not from the local system assemblies
Can anyone tell how to do this?

Thanks for that. I already used it.But the Client side dont have any ms office suite installed. So i tried with "MS Office" viewer. I think its a freeware and just installed in client machine will help them to view/Print the document with one Constraint that it has to installed on all machine in the Client Side. Like that is there any other option that can be installed in Server and shared with the Client Machine that connect to that Server. Thanks,

Hi,
I have a large number (2000+) of word files from my Mac (MS Word 2004 for Mac) that I have transferred to my XP machine. I wish to open them in a c# 2010 express application that I am developingg. I have Office 2010 installed on that machine also.

I have used your suggestions to open the files. If I open them first in Word 2010, then my application will open them fine. If I attempt to open them direct (after changing the extension to .doc), I get an InteropServices.COMException.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter
