what gives?

i got the user to delete and redraw the MSFlexgrid control on the form
and he received a "MS Office does not support this ActiveX control"
error. he told me they had a Windows update performed the night
before. anyone else getting this problem?

See this

http://groups.google.com/group/comp...y+Advisory+960715+--+Kill+bits+for+flex+grid?


and these two just updated yesterday.

That's the reason why some developers don't use them.

The KB960715 "security update" sets a "kill bit" in the registry entry
for
several ActiveX controls, including several of MS's own VB6 controls.
MSFlexGrid and WinSock are two of those affected.
More info here:
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/960715.mspx>

It turns out that there is another KB (957924) which updates those VB6
ActiveX controls to a later version which does not have the
vulnerability
and are therefore not kill-bitted. The "OK" version for msflxgrd.ocx
and
mswinsck.ocx 6.1.98.12.
You can download this VB6 update from here:

I had the same problem with my application written in MS Access 2003 (using a
MS Flexgrid control from VB 6.0). I am glad that this information was posted.
Thank you so much !
