Security Patch Problem!!

[Susan]

I have been running the following code from a form in
Access 2000 to update a file on our website for a year
now. Yesterday I downloaded and installed the new
Security Update for IE6 SP1 (KB824145) and today my code
doesn't work anymore...I get an "Error Page cannot be
found" when IE opens. It still works fine from machines
that I have not yet installed this update. My question
is can I "UNINSTALL" this update somehow, or is there a
workaround to allow this code to continue to work??

Private Sub cmdSubmitRequestToWeb()
Dim strLinkPath As String
Dim strExtraInfo As String

strLinkPath
= "http://user:[email protected]/admin/scripts/newadduse
r.cgi"
strExtraInfo = Me!txtCgi

MsgBox strLinkPath & strExtraInfo

Application.FollowHyperlink Address:=strLinkPath,
extrainfo:=strExtraInfo, NewWindow:=True
End Sub

Thanks for any help!

I show that 824145 is the November 2003 patch, the February 2004 patch
(832894) should be the one that blocks your code and yes, it is removable.
It should show in Add/Remove Programs as Internet Explorer Q832894. However,
removing it now may work for now, but what about the next patch? Hopefully,
there will be a checkbox added to the Internet Setting dialog to turn this
on and off, but at this point it is just wishful thinking. If there won't be
then I hope someone else has a workaround.

That's not the update that came out on 2/2/04. For information on
workarounds, look here:

or try this tinyurl:

You can uninstall, if necessary, from the control panel.

One more thing. From the security support page where the hotfix is located:

"Technical support is available from Microsoft Product Support Services at
1-866-PCSAFETY for customers in the U.S. and Canada. There is no charge for
support calls that are associated with security updates."
