Ok, so I'm a lowly Access programmer, and couldn't compile from source code to save my neck.
But I'm also no fan of Microsoft, and despise IE. The IE web browser control is unusable in Access because of massive version incompatibilities and, being a huge fan of Mozilla (0.9.3 is my default browser) and eager to do anything I can to cut strings to the MS monopoly, I'd love to be able to use the Gecko engine in my Access apps (right now I open the default browser externally, which sucks). Questions: 1. is there a place I could get an ActiveX binary of the control (and any supporting files it needs)? 2. are there version compatibility issues? That is, if a target system has a version of Mozilla already on it, will a particular version of the ActiveX control work with all installed versions of Mozilla, or is it completely independent? 3. has anyone tested the control for compatibility with Access? Access doesn't work with every ActiveX control, but it works with an awful lot of them, even those that haven't been tested with it. I'd be perfectly happy to do some testing as the benefit to me would be so great to me, but I'd need someone to compile it for me. Last of all, I'm posting through Google only because my news server (RoadRunner) does not carry the embedding group (I have no idea why not, since there's boatloads of other Mozilla groups). I'd greatly appreciate an email CC of any post, if that's not asking too much. Thanks! -- David W. Fenton http://www.bway.net/~dfenton dfenton at bway dot net http://www.bway.net/~dfassoc
