word not working in terminal services 2003

[Guest]

We are running a FoxPro application in terminal services on server 2K and it
creates mailmerge documents in word. Unfortunately the same set up does not
work on server 2003 , word comes with :"1429 - OLE IDispatch exception code 0
from Microsoft Word: Could not open macro storage...".
I have done search on internet and the solution seems to be to load
"registry hive" programmatically for terminal services users.
Is it something that can be done via group policies?

Well... interesting thing is that if I add my remote desktop user to my
Administrator group everything works OK. Surely I can't make all terminal
services users administrators?????

No, you'd better not. But since it seems to be a permission
problem, I would download FileMon and RegMon from
http://www.sysinternals.com/. Run them as administrator, start
a TS session as a normal user and try to run the application.

FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors
that occur, so that you can give your users the necessary
permissions on a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.
