Compare the IE, Windows Security, and FP Settings on the machine that doesn't work and on the one that does (also any firewall
software settings like MIS)
Try changing the IE html editor to say Word, closing IE , then reopening IE and setting it back to FP
Also try a repair on IE (see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=318378 )
Then make sure you get all updates from Windows Update for your OS, IE and MS Office
| Let me say this one last time...
|
| IT'S NOT THE DAMN HOST!
|
| I have 4 computers and the edit w/ FP works properly on 3 of them but the
| one computer in which the button was working fine before, is not working
| since the upgrade to office 2003.
|
| I have dumped ALL temp files everywhere.
|
| And oh yeah, it's NOT the host.
|
| The problem is specific to my pc but I'd like to find a way to fix it.
