Default MSCOMM

Up to now we used the MS Communication Control MSCOMM32.OCX for communication

Since the Windows Update KB969898 (ActiveX Killbits) we have problems to
insert the MSCOMM. Following error message is coming up: "The subject is not
trusted for the specified action".

Any help is appreciated

troubleshooting:

You must install VB 6.0 to be able to run this patch fix. This article
describes which files may be affected by a Windows updated (there are
quite a few library files listed).

Good luck,
Kevin
