hi,

I have used the OWC.Spreadsheet 11 object in a form. But since then, I get a
warning, usually when I open the spreadsheet, saying "This application is
about to initialize an ActiveX Control that might be unsafe. If you trust the
source of this file Select OK.etc,etc". I am using Excel 2003. Is there
anyway of getting rid of this message? I am worried that users will see it,
worry about using it and press cancel instead of OK at the prompt, thus
rendering my form useless.

Thanks,
Chris

but got no reply - it is pretty important

Chris ,
IIRC, this is a warning initiated by IE. May depend on the version/updates
installed by the user as to whether they get it or not.
On your own system you can play with the registry settings:

On a user system, not much you can do, as that is their set up.
