You'll need to go into Internet Options and the Security Tab. When you get
there, select the web content zone that you're dealing with, in this case
probably Internet. Then click the Custom button. That will bring up a dialog
containing a tree view. In that tree view is a group of options dealing with
specific types of Activex controls. On each one of those options, you'll be
able to tell the system to enable it, disable it, or prompt you for input
regarding the control in question. I've run across this before when looking
for some sort of Windows or Office update and remember turning on the ones
that were considered marked as safe. Those that were unsigned or otherwise
marked as unsafe I disabled. If you want to see what controls are involved,
turn prompt on and make a decision each time. It will give you an idea of
what's occuring on the page. I don't know if this is clear, but I hope it
helps.
Tom
