Hi guys,
As many of you should know M$ has released a patch that generate problems with active contents in IE.
Reading MSDN articles the patch should block activeX contained in OBJECT and EMBED controls in HTML.
The user can click to activate the object at it should work, but I found that the patch involves also the plugin, disabling the possibility to view PDFs in browser.
I know that exist the compatibility patch and it works, I can say to Adobe Reader 6 to open in a different windows and it works, I can use Adobe Reader 7 and it works but if I want to view PDFs in browser using Reader 6 what I've to do? How I can "activate" the plugin if I'm not viewing an HTML containing an EMBED object but I'm simply looking a PDF file?
Thanks in advance for helps.

Stevie B. Gibson
