RichTextbox dead in Word2003

[Can Altinbay]

I have a UserForm in Word VBA that is using a RichTextBox. When we try to
deploy this in Word2003, we find that the control is missing. If we try to
insert one, we get the message "The subject is not trusted for the specified
action." OK - what has Microsoft wrought now, and how do we get a
RichtextBox to show up in Word2003?

Hi Can,

This must be a third-party richtextbox, as the VBA forms library doesn't
have one. I suspect that you are getting stuck on the increasing strict
security provisions in the latest version of office.

So, a few questions.

1. Is the OCX file for the richtextbox present onthe target machine
2. is it registered?
3. Is it listed in the list of libraries in Tools, References in the VBA
editor, when you have the template open in the editor?
4. What are your security settings in Tools, macro, Security?

Thank you. I got that it was the "trusted" mechanism, but since it is
"Microsoft Rich Textbox Control 6.0 (SP4)", I thought maybe it was a
Microsoft control. My partner has the 2003 installed, so I forwarded your
response to him so he can give us the answers to your questions.
