If it does not work, please let me know. I have another idea

You probably have a setting in IE that is preventing you from running the activex control.  Go to Tools...Internet options...Security and look at the section called "ActiveX Controls and Plugins" and make sure they are allowed to execute...

Sorry, but if your error message still after you use this two help's messages, then you have some problems with your Internet Exlporer. Try to use this code on another PC.

Hi,

I m able to test the code without any issues by running from a html page on my local machine.But when i try this from an S-control it is giving me this error.

Try to check this at your leisure. Thanks a lot for all the help.

Regards,

Udaya

Udaya,

 

I have used this ActiveX Object in an S-Control before and ran into the same issue. You have to really turn down the browser security. So you go into IE and lower the security settings for all of the zones. I had to play with the settings for awhile to get the right ones but I did finally get it to work (using IE6).
