Dear Excel Experts,
Please help!
p.s. Rolling back the patch did not help.

Dear Gary,

Thank your for your post.

I learned that the problem began to occur after applying
the new MS03-026
security patch. However, I think the current news group
is not the best
one
for this problem. To resolve this problem, you may need
to check the code
which uses the Excel OCX to generate the Excel reports.
Therefore, I
suggest that you post this question in the
microsoft.public.excel.programming news groups, which is
primarily for
issues involving Excel development.

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you
will get the most
qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who
read the newsgroups
regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from
your interaction
with us. I hope the problem can be resolved quickly.

Thank you for using our News Group.

Regards,
Joe Wu
