Killing Winword.exe Process And Office 2003

I'm having difficulty getting winword.exe processes to die on our
development server when using

SET objWord = CreateObject("word.application") from an .ASP page.

This problem exists on our development server only as we are still
using Office 2000 components in production. No probs in production with
the current code which has been in use for a couple of years now.

I have to get these ASP pages working with word 2003 to avoid a rewrite
of a few applications.

I've tried using objWord.Quit and setting the object to "Nothing" but
it has no effect on the running process on the server.

Both development and prod servers are Win 2003 Server.
