Security settings

[Andrew Chalk]

I have developed an HTML page that uses an ActiveX control. When I try to
load the page on a client's W2K computer I get the error message "Your
current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As
aresult the page may not display correctly"

I have tried fiddling with all the IE security settings but cannot get this
error to disappear. What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks.

Asking in an IIS group for one. This has nothing to do with IIS and
nothing in IIS can fix it.

Is this on a website or are you actually taking a copy of the page to his
machine? I suppose it's possible in that case that you need to adjust the
local zone settings and internet (or possibly intranet) zones too. Have you
tried putting your website (if that's where the page is) in his "Trusted"
zone? Usually the default settings there are all relaxed.

Sorry Jeff, put it back in your group in case others find it useful and / or
the OP couldn't find the reply.

Hello Andrew,

If you add the website to the Trusted Site zone, ActiveX controls should
work. You may however be prompted, depending on if the ActiveX control is
signed or not (you can change this behavior).

The page is running on a copy of IIS on his machine. The web browser is also
on his machine. I am accessing via Desktop connection. All of the
browser-IIS interaction is on his copy of W2K. I have set the security
settings at "Trusted Site" and "Local Intranet" and I looked at most of the
references on
http://search.microsoft.com/search/...+on+this+page.+"&View=msdn&st=b&c=3&s=1&swc=3.
However, these suggestions did not work.

It's in "Trusted Sites". After that did not work I wondered if there is a
systemwide setting that overrides the browser settings.

Found the problem -- the codebase in the page used the computer's IP
address -- not the same as localhost apparently.
