Hmmm... that doesn't make sense to me. I think the problem lies elsewhere with HTMLview. Try writing a little two or three line program that simply does an AddObject with HTMLview.
Microsoft apparently has standardized the APIs in Windows 7. However, they have restricted the new platform so it can only run apps created with a specialized version of their tools. Until they change this policy, third party tools are out of luck. >Hi George, > >Thanks for the reply.
