RE: VBScript, Do you want to allow it to run?

2001-03-30 Thread Christopher P. Maher 

For Intranet applications I usually set the security to a custom level for
local intranet or if users are accessing the site from outside, the putting
the site in the trusted sites and setting the appropriate security level.
Hope that helps.

RE: VBScript, Do you want to allow it to run?

This answer may be so simple that I assume I'm missing something, but why
not just allow them to open the word document via their browser directly -
using a URL that points to the word document?

VB Script / ActiveX question:

We are utilizing a VB Script we got from the MSDN Library to launch Word on
the Client computer (this is an intranet project only – all computers
equipped), with a document, in a directory we’ve mapped to all workstations.

The problem is that unless the security setting form the browser is set to
the lowest (not a legitimate solution, internal browsers have access to the
Internet), the script just throws an error. If the browser is set to the
lowest (no) security, the following message is sent:

“Some software (ActiveX controls) on this page might be unsafe. It is
recommended that you do not run it. Do you want to allow it to run?”

My question is – is there a way to launch word other that the process we are
using (that also doesn’t have this problem), or failing that, is there a way
to use this script without having to go through the process of having to
digitally sign the code ($400 / year for just this – it looks like they’ll
have no other use of the certificate)?

Arrgh. This is a showstopper if I cannot find a work around. The certificate
should be the last-measure-response.

Thank you for your time,

You should be able to add the intranet site to the list of "Trusted Sites"
in IE on the target computers, then configure the security settings for
trusted sites to allow what you need. That won't affect the security
settings used when connecting to public Internet sites.

If everyone is using IE5.x you can deliver the script via the hta extension.
Heres the docs.

RE: VBScript, Do you want to allow it to run

2001-03-30 Thread cassady 

That's what we were doing, but the users need the full functionality of Word, and they 
need to be able to save the document back. Sure, they could upload it - but the steps 
are huge. Instead we've created a drive that every workstation maps to under the same 
drive letter. Then, as Word launches, they can just "save" and the document is stored 
right back.

They choose the document from a list generated through the browser, but the 
manpulation and saving of the file is easier directly through word than through a 
browser.

Stephen.

PS - thanks to EVERYONE for the quick response on this, and the approach to "use the 
IE Security Panel to add your site to the 
Intranet list.  You'll need to choose Security -> Select Local Intranet -> Click the 
Sites Button and then advanced button.  Add the address of your local Intranet Site, 
then change the security settings to allow unsigned activeX controls in the Intranet 
only.
