Hey,

I have created a script in VB 2010 for exporting images from Laserfiche into Word documents. I would like to run this script in a Workflow but I have been using references for Microsoft Word within the script.

Is there any way to add .OLB references in a script within Workflow? When browsing the only available file types are .DLL & .EXE.

Component name: Microsoft Word 14.0 Object Library

Path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSWORD.OLB

Thanks!

Dom

Microsoft doesn't support Office automation in a service context (like Workflow). Office applications assume there is a user present to interact with the UI, and there may be problems loading properly due to the lack of a user profile. The supported way of creating and modifying Office documents is to use the Open XML SDK.

There is not. However, that file seems to be a COM component, not a .Net one. You probably want to use Office's interop assemblies as a reference not the .OLB file.
