So change the security settings for active-x, reduce your security. Keep
reducing until you have none and if the error continues either your version
may not support those controls, or there is an error in the code.

Hello Alan.

I tried reducing security to the lowest level and still get the same
message.

I'm not sure of what you mean by your version may not support those
controls, or there is an error in the code

Thanks,
Tony

In general, mail is opened in the Restricted web security zone. That zone,
apparently, is configured to disallow ActiveX controls. You can either open
your mail in a zone that allows ActiveX or you can change the Restricted
zone settings.

Same problem as a lot of people, it seems ....

1) How do you 'open your mail in a zone that allows ActiveX ' and what are
the implications of that?

2) What are the implications of lowering the settings for the Restricted
zone (assuming that that solves the problem)? What other problems might then
result?

The Security Zones section on ToolsOptionsSecurity.
The implications are that you could receive an HTML message containing
malicious ActiveX and allow it to run.

Restricted zone (assuming that that solves the problem)? What other

The implications are the same. I've had some luck adding the string
"about:internet" to my Restricted zone.

Oops. I meant to say "Local Intranet" zone.
