I get and active content warning window everytime I open up the newsreader
with Outlook 03... Ive turned on access to activeX reluctantly but the
warning still appears. Any suggestions? Ive turned off antivirus and
anyother security programs.

News reader I presume is OE. Tried the Plain Text option against HTML? Turn
it off in your newsreader.

Well it is the NewsR that comes up with Outlook. When I use the NewsR with
OE it doesnt appear.

That's Outlook Express, started with the /outnews command line switch.

In Internet Explorer, go to your Local Intranet or Trusted Zone, click Sites
(and, for Local Intranet , Advanced) and in the "Add this web site to the
Zone" field enter "about:internet". Click Add. See if that helps.

The DLL msoeres.dll contains the HTML that Outlook Express uses as the
display pag when Outlook Express is opened. In particular, the displays are
res://C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msoeres.dll/frntnews.htm for the
Outlook Newsreader (i.e., OE started with the /outnews command line switch)
and
res://C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msoeres.dll/frntpage.htm for OE
started normally. Those pages contain scripts that won't run unless
contained in an Internet zone that allows active content. I like to keep my
web browser really locked down, not allowing any active content unless I say
so. I noticed a scripting error one day when trying to start OE, so I
hunted around on the internet and found the references to those internal web
pages and entered one into IE. Then I added that web page into my Local
Internet zone and the OE scripting problem was gone. I looked to see what
URL appeared in the zone. To my surprise, I saw the string
"about:internet". So, when I saw your post, I realized it was probably the
same thing and made my suggestion.

By the way, there are several interesting thing you can see in that DLL.
For example:
res://C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msoeres.dll/wab.gif
res://C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msoeres.dll/newmail.gif
are two of the icons in that file.
