KillBit for MSComm32.OCX

[Francisco Gomez]

Recently has been released a security patch for VB6 Runtime with ACTIVATES
the killbit for mscomm32.ocx. But I have inserted this ActiveX in one of my
Access forms... and has been deactivated, too (when loading the form, I
receive a error messege that says there is no onserted control).

Is there any workaround (different than simply remove that killbit, wich
would leave my system vulnerable)?

¡Thanks!

An older version of MSCOMM32.OCX has had the "kill bit" flag set.
