Solution 1

What were you told yesterday about this? Your server doesn't have a D: drive.

Also, the ASP.NET code will NEVER have access to the clients filesystem at all if that's what you're trying to get to.

You seem to not understand that ASP.NET code runs entirely on the server, never on the client.

If you're trying to get the path to the word document on the client, you can't. It's considered a security risk so it isn't allowed.

First reason why it don't work: it work on your PC because you have msword installed, you server don't have msword.

C#

object strTemplatePath = "D:\\ExportToWord\\ExportInvoice\\ExportSalesInvoiceTamplate.docx";

Second reason why it don't work: C# and ASP are running on server, this path aim to your server storage that certainly does not exist.

It work on your PC because while debugging, your PC is client and server at same time.
