I'm having problems inserting this into a form in Access 2003. The error I
get is: 'Microsoft Office Access doesn't support this ActiveX control'.
Office is installed on a W2K machine. This worked fine with Access 2000 on
W2K.

Can anybody help? Thanks,

Gerhard

Hello, RichTextBox control comprises access
methods to the files (in particular LoadFile and SaveFile) which make
it potentially dangerous within the framework of a Web. application
For this Microsoft reason prevents its execution in Internet To
explore by using the method described in the base of Microsoft
knowledge (technical article 240797), by fixing the value of the entry
"Compatibility Flags" in the following under-key of the base of
register: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{3B7C8860-D78F-101B-B9B5-04021C009402}

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;FR;240797

Microsoft reinforced the safety of Microsoft Access in
the version 2003. One of the additional safety measures is that
Access 2003 holds account of the restrictions forced on Internet To
explore in the under-key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility an administrator of the Windows station
can modify the value of this entry "Compatibility Flags". But I
disadvise to you making it since this would weaken the safety offered
by Access 2003 and Internet To explore. I rather advise you to
give up format rtf with the profit of a more recent format:
HTML. You could then use, for example, control ActiveX
"WebBrowser control" to post the text formatted in HTML. Benoit

Thanks Stephan,

That is interesting. I think the point of that article is that Access 2003
looks at this IE key to determine which controls are safe to load. I have
confirmed that the CLSID for the image edit control is indeed under that IE
key with the kill bit set.

I just don't know what to do about that now. As the author of the message
points out, taking the key out weakens IE's security. He doesn't mention a
fix for Access at all, like disabling this stupid behavior. I should be
able to control whether Access behaves like IE, or not.

There is a big difference between these two apps to me. IE is exposed to
malicious attacks, Access is used in-house in a controlled environment. Did
MS go overboard with this one?

I guess my final question is, am I and this guy in France the only people in
the world who have run into this? Why always me?<g>

I do appreciate your help with this, Stephen. If you have any comments on
my musings, or any suggestions for solving the problem, please share them

What functionality of this control do you require that is either not
native to Access or that a non ActiveX workaround does not exist?

It's the Image Edit control that we are using, it is the core of a new
in-house application. We used to cut out clippings and attach them with
staples, now everything is being scanned, needs to be edited, and then is
attached to email, or printed on paper.

So this is the fulcrum for us, many in-house apps suddenly have to display
Tiffs, and allow for manipulation of them.

I originally thought that this was a licensing issue. These Image controls
were developed by Wang for Win95. Wang went under and Kodak bought the
rights to the controls. Kodak sold it to Eastman, and now Eastman is
eStream, or something like that.

MS was not able or willing to lease these controls for XP, so they are not
there anymore, they have been replaced with some MS version, which
apparently is no good. (surprise<g>)

Looks like I am going back to Access 2000, which works fine with these
controls, would save us a lot of money too. I just don't understand
Microsoft anymore.
