I have an ActiveX control in my web page and the control doesn't install on
a XP machine. It works fine on Win2k pro. The warning dialog box does appear
on both machine and does allow yes to be clicked.

I checked the security settings and they're the same on both machines.

both machines are running IE6.0 SP1, no errors are coming up and the control
isn't being downloaded.

NOTE: <object tag> is used just for this posting because I couldn't use the
actual tag due to outlook trying to embed the object.

<object tag> id="Ctl" style="WIDTH: 461px; HEIGHT: 87px"
codeBase="http://www.MyDomain/InstallDA.CAB#version1,0,0,0"
data="data:application/x-oleobject;base64,MYkt8RHaf0eh/EOsCVk5kRAHAAClLwAA/g
gAABMAAP8AAAIAAwA=" classid="clsid:F12D8931-DA11-477F-A1FC-43AC09593991"
VIEWASTEXT>
</object tag

This newsgroup is for questions about using ActiveX controls in Access, the
database product that's part of Office Professional.

You'll probably have more luck asking your question in a newsgroup related
to IE such as microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
