Would it create a memory instance of word each time ? If it was
instanciated as an object then only the data for the document (and
associated object data) would be created, the actual application would
be created once.

Also if it is a public server then you have to purchase a processor
licence for Word. Not cheap I suspect....

Cheers
Andy

Since it will run on a webserver, two or more people will be running the
code at the same time.
the code will create a memory instance of Word every time the code is
run.
the instance should be released from memory once the work is done.
so you might be seeing one instance of word on the server for each user
who is accessing the site.

you should consider how many users will access the web page
concurrently. this factors into how much memory and processing power
that the web server needs.

the batch task approach is good, since John already has the documents in
a database.
depends on how long a user is willing to wait to see the results though.
