Web Page On VPS Can't Create Word Application ActiveX Object

So I have written as part of an application some code that on my clients website pulls some information from SQL server and uses it to create a new file using a Word with bookmarks as a template. It works fine on my development machine, but not on my production server with the error: "Cannot create ActiveX component.: Word.Application". Now I have been approaching this as if it is an issue with Office, but it occurred to me that this might be another issue. Maybe some security issue with ASP.NET? My original thought was it was some kind of compatibly problem as I had Office 2007 on my machine and 2010 on the server.

Code:
Protected Sub btnCreate_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCreate.Click
Dim objWord As Object
Dim objDoc As Object
Dim strContractFile As String = "~Documents" & txtContractFile.Text
Dim strContractFilePath As String = Server.MapPath(strContractFile)

[Code] .....
