Kent, The problem you encountered is because a library we use (Sarissa) uses ActiveX controls, which are sometimes blocked until you modify the security settings in IE. We can't change that programatically and we used to throw up a page explaining this, but Sarissa changes the way it initializes so I don't think that is working currently. The good part is that I don't think the very strict security settings are very common so most people won't encounter this problem. I would guess that Google implements it's client without using ActiveX controls which is why it doesn't cause a problem.
The same domain issue is another topic, but we do have a solution for that using proxies. Mike Kent B Kvarfordt wrote: > > Mike, > > Thanks for the reply.
