In a resonse to another post on 7/8/05 you indicated that for security
reasons. Your active x controls were blocked. Iwas interested in knowing
what those security issues were. If anyone else can enlighten me, please do.
 
By default, Windows XP now blocks them. You may wish to Google for the
information as to why they are security risks. You'll come up with a ton of
info.

They could contain malicious code. ActiveX controls are executable programs.

They could do anything - so some people don't trust them.

They could be trojan horses, viruses -- whatever.
