I did see that article and tried checking for ActiveX filtering, but it didn't seem to change anything. I think ActiveX filtering is different from what I was seeing, which was that due to security settings (I was unable to determine exactly which setting was responsible, but adding the website as a trusted site made the exception go away) ActiveX was completely disabled for the website. I do find it strange that the browser claims that ActiveX is supported but then throws an exception any time an ActiveX object is created, but it could just be a limitation of the way it was implemented. - Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
