Office 2003 - Initializing ActiveX Control

G

Gates 72

We have a VBA Add-In that incorporates some VB6-created
ActiveX controls. These controls are added dynamically
at runtime using the Controls.Add() function.

We are testing an upgrade to Office 2003. When Excel is
started up, the following message always comes up:

"This application is about to initialize ActiveX controls
that may be unsafe. If you trust the source of this
file, select OK and the controls will be initialized
using your current workspace settings."

Is there a way to prevent this message from appearing?
Multiple users on a single machine may be using this Add-
In.

Thanks,
G72

You need to add digital signatures to your ActiveX controls
