(Or even recognising that silently active content is executing on your computer?) The pages do NOT look changed. Oh, REALLY? Then again, I'm not too surprised. Not sure if it's our engineering or IBM's, but our 3270 access via the web is HATS or HOD, which now requires ActiveX. I, too, have no choice - most company apps require ActiveX to work. After years of unsuccessful protests, I finally gave up on home access and acquired a company laptop. Let them deal with it. So much for the Statement of Integrity ...
