OWA's job may be to allow you access to Exchange... but IE's job (especially in protected mode) is to protect the user from running active code. You might complain that the organizers placed the machines in protected mode when they "knew" people would want to do such things, but I can't see how you can blame IE/Vista for it. In this case however I don't know if it would ever work in Vista - Vista doesn't include the DHTML Editing control used by most versions of OWA. Here's an article covering why and how applications can work around it (I assume that an update to OWA will follow these recommendations). http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnlong/html /htmleditinfuture.asp Now the first thought may be "well, why did they do this when they knew ot would break OWA?!" In my mind it goes back to my original comments: the Vista/IE Team did something that improved security regardless of how it affected existing software - even other MS software. To me that's actually a good thing. A potentially infuriating, annoying and huge-pain-in-the-ass thing, but a good thing nonetheless. It's been happening for years now. MS is crucified for providing insecure software. Then they're crucified for eliminating functionality when they lock things down.
