Click to activate and use this control

J

Josh Sale

I gather that as a resolution to some kind of patent dispute, IE 6 now
throws up the following message when it gets a web page with an ActiveX
control (e.g., the OWC spreadsheet). I also gather that their is some way
to modify you web page to avoid this prompt.

Has anybody using the OWC 11 spreadsheet control looked into modifying their
web pages to avoid this problem?

TIA

This is a security issue related to ActiveX controls. It's not possible to
overide this behavior because an ActiveX control has access to the end-user
system. Windows requires that the end-user provide explicit permission for a
control to run.
