Access Denied Opening DocX File

I have a class, and in the same folder I have a .docx file.

The below code is producing a yellow screen of death, claiming access is denied on the document (but in the System32 folder). I have added ASPNET and Network Service as users with modify permissions on the document, in the project's folder (NOT system32).

using (WordprocessingDocument myDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open("FileName.docx", true)) {}

I'm sure this is something simple and common, but I'm not turning up anything on Google.

Running IIs 7 and .Net 4.

Cheers

The file had to have the Build Action set to "Content" in order for it to actually copy to the correct place. In addition to that, I also switched from "filename.docx" to Server.MapPath("filename.docx").

It's looking for the file in the current directory, which will be the System32 folder. If you want it to look somewhere else, you can specify the path rather than just FileName.docx as the filename.
