Thanks for the info - excellent news and just what we've been waiting to
hear. Would have been even better if they'd just placed the fix on the
support site, or better still sent it out with the regular updates.

I looked for it but didn't see it in Article 931657
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931657). On the other hand it says "..we
recommend that you wait for the next service pack for Windows Internet
Explorer 7 that contains this hotfix" which sounded as though we could be
waiting some time.

They should provide a link to download it without having to call up for the
thing. Especially given the severity of the problem and the amount of
trouble it has caused people, as evidenced by the number of threads dealing
with this issue in these various newsgroups.

Thanks PA Bear for posting this.

Yes I saw that OK but not "will be included in the next Cumulative Update or
Roll-up for IE7" as mentioned in PA Bear's post. The long-term fix in
Article 931657 seems to be the next service pack.
No real problem but a simple download would have avoided either calling MS
or waiting for the service pack, which I think is also Steve's point.

It's not found in 931657, no, but that's what the IE team told me...and they
said I could tell /you/ and others here.

OK thanks for clearing that up - I'll look out for it in the updates.

I've pretty much given up on what they "should" do. They pretty much ignore
us.

Looks that way.

Just a reflex on my part, I guess, that I'll have to work on controlling.
