J

I hope someone could help me here. I desperately need help with this
app i'm writing.

I'm building a power point COM add in, and in my form i have to use
MSINET.OCX(microsoft internet transfer control). everything works fine,

but everytime this add-in runs in power point, before it runs, a
warning message always pops up. it says


"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've known similar add-in that use the same component(internet transfer

control) but doesn't pop up this message.


could someone help me please?


thanks in advance for any inputs/helps

never mind!! i'm the stupid one. i don't realize that i'm adding a form
in the desginers groups, instead of within the forms group in VB
project window. creating the forms within the forms group solve the
warning message problem.
