John, I see your point! Both the server and the browser are changing when I upload. Currently I don't have access to there internal server, this is only a temporary situation. I think the way forward is to get the client to view it on our server (changing the browser and not the server ) and see where we go from there. Cheers for your input, Paul

From the above, I'm not sure whether the browser has stayed the same when you've changed which server it came from. (Rephrased, if the client can see it from your server but not theirs, all on the same computer, in the same browser.) Another isolation test would be whether other browser/control communication works normally in the balking browser... if your client can view WWW pages which use ActiveX Scripting. If their browser never works then you'd look at the Microsoft permissions... I remember an IE/Win prefs tab for "Disable ActiveX Scripting", for instance. I'm not sure whether this is the case there, though. Changing one part of the problem at a time may be the fastest way to zoom in on the area of difference...? jd -- John Dowdell .
