Hello,

This is probably a silly question to most you, but here goes:

I'm opening a ssh connection from a Linux box to our Windows Server 2003 
which then initiates a Cygwin terminal.  I then try and run a vbs script 
that opens Word to convert documents from Word to PostScript.

In my vbs script, as soon as it reaches the following line:

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

I receive the following error:

C:\cygwin\home\iss05e\autoprint.vbs(6, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime 
error: Permission denied: 'CreateObject'

The user 'iss05e' has Administrative privileges on the Windows machine.

The script works fine if I log into the machine direct and run it 
through the command prompt using "cscript autoprint.vbs".

Is there some permissions setting I need to change to allow Cygwin to 
run GUI applications?

Apologies if this question is a bit general.

Regards,
Paul
