Topic: Active-X warning in Excell 2007 and Windows 7
|
| By: Luc | Posted on: May 30 2012 at 03:11:49 PM | Hi,
I'm very happy to have found your product as a replacement of MSCOMM32 that I couldn't get to work anymore. I use the control in a form in Excel and was asked for the activation code when I firt inserted the control ... and not the second - I am reading 2 COM ports over USB. I do get a message to the effect that an insecure Active-X is being used when the spreadsheet loads. Can I do something to make this message not appear? Thanks.

| By: Guest | Posted on: May 31 2012 at 03:02:09 PM | Microsoft Forms
Cette application est sur le point d'initialisr les contrôles ActiveX
potentiellement non sûrs. Si la source de ce fichier est fiable,
cliquez sur OK pour que les contrôles soient initialisés à l'aide des
paramètres d'espace de travail en cours.
OK Annuler
Hence "message to the effect that an insecure Active-X is being used" !

"This application is about to initialize ActiveX controls that might be unsafe.If you trust the source of this file, select OK and the controls will be initialized using your current workspace settings."
Will this happen with registered versions too, and if so how do I prevent Excel from displaying those messages?
Thanks. | |

| By: Guest | Posted on: Aug 27 2012 at 08:53:26 PM | It will still happen when you buy the registered version because it doesn't have anything to do with the OCX. In as much as there's nothing the authors of the OCX can do about it.. MS Office will protect your system by restricting what Executable files can do. An OCX is an executable file. So you have to tell MS Office that you trust it.
See the link above (activex security) it takes you to a page that discusses the problem.
