ActiveX warnings in MS Project 2003

[Beth]

Everytime I open a file Microsoft Project, I get the following Microsoft Forms message box:
This application is about to initialize ActiveX controls that might be unsafe. If you trust the source of this file, select OK and the controls will be initialized using your current workspace settings.
I currently have modified my project file by inserting several macros and forms and I think this may be causing the problem. I do not get this prompt when I open my project in MS Project 2000 or 2002.
Any ideas on how to disable this warning? It's driving me nuts.

Are your security settings in Internet Explorer set to prompt before running
Active X objects? If so, try changing this in the Intranet zone.

I'm not sure that you can disable it.

Gary,
I changed the ActiveX settings so they're either enabled or disabled (no

prompt) in both the internet and intranet zones and I still get the prompt.
Any other suggestions?

Well, do you know if adding macros causes this messgae box to pop up, or if it's something else that is causing it?

Thanks,
B

I have experienced this same issues with Word 2003. It relates to new security features in Office 2003 that protect against initializing unsigned ActiveX controls. Apparently Microsoft have acknowledge it as being a bug in Office.

There is however a suggested fix (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;817112). However I have tried this fix but it had no effect.
