CreateObject accessing internet!

[Nick Pateman]

Hi there,

The following line, is VS.NET 2005,

Dim pObjPowerPoint As Object = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")

will cause the system to access,

131.107.115.28 on port 80.

Any ideas why???

Thanks in advance for any help, VS.NET 2003 certainly doesnt do this!

Are you using a "hosted" Powerpoint?

Nope, just a standard desktop pc. Ive just been informed it can be disabled
through IE's security settings, and it did indeed work, but still, its a bit
of a thing to impose upon an application every time CreateObject is called
isnt it?

This is the Microsoft Certification Revocation List which IE is invoking
to check to see if this app's digital signature has been revoked.

You can stop this appearing by changing your IE settings

select TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS
- select ADVANCED from the new window
- scroll down to SECURITY
- uncheck "check for publishers certificate revocation"
