 Save method fails in Word XP automation

Hi,
I have a problem while trying to use Save a document in Word XP through
automation. The Save method fails only when a document is opened through an
IE browser. The error message which I get is  " The Save Method or Property
is not available because it is in another application". The same program
works with Word 2000 & Word 97 without any problem. I am listing bellow the
code for the program

      COleVariant vTrue((short)TRUE),
                vFalse((short)FALSE),
                vOpt((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);

     ::CoInitialize(NULL);

      // Translate server ProgID into a CLSID. ClsidFromProgID
      // gets this information from the registry.
      CLSID clsid;
      CLSIDFromProgID(L"Word.Application", &clsid);

      // Get an interface to the running instance, if any..
      IUnknown *pUnk;
      HRESULT hr = GetActiveObject(clsid, NULL, (IUnknown**)&pUnk);
      ASSERT(!FAILED(hr));

      // Get IDispatch interface for Automation...
      IDispatch *pDisp;
      hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pDisp);
      ASSERT(!FAILED(hr));

      // Release the no-longer-needed IUnknown...
      pUnk->Release();

    _Application    oApp( pDisp);

    //Get the active document's IDispatch
    _Document oDoc = oApp.GetActiveDocument();

    //Call the Save method through IDispatch
    oDoc.Save();                   <--------------------------METHOD FAILS

/*   oDoc.SaveAs(COleVariant("c:\\doc1.doc"),    <----------SAVEAS METHOD
SUCCEEDS
                    COleVariant((short)0),
                    vFalse, COleVariant(""), vTrue, COleVariant(""),
                    vFalse, vFalse, vFalse, vFalse, vFalse);
*/

Can anyone tell me why the method fails and what method should i use to save
document?.

Thanks,
Bala.M
