MSHTA stopped running script

[KeithTrangmar]

I have an HTML form stored as a .HTA file so that it can do some useful stuff in the script associated with various buttons. This has been working reliably for several years, then suddenly this morning (at only a couple of sites) the script has apparently just stopped running - it's not broken, it just doesn't run at all, no mouseovers, no button clicks, nothing.

The 2 sites so far affected happen to have just installed the latest Blaster worm patch from the MS website, which made me immediately suspicious, but 2 other sites who have also installed the same patch are still working just fine. There's no question of them using different copies of the form, and it's not user error, as I've connected to the machines with pcAnywhere & tried it myself.

The only possibility which springs to my mind is perhaps some sort of security setting preventing the script from running, but the options in IE all look the same as any other machine. In fact, other machines at the same location are working okay, it's just the secretary's which is affected (Sod's law).

Any suggestions as to how to switch this back on will be most appreciated.

Would suggest comparing the differences in the security settings for IE on the affected and non-affected machines.

Hope this helps,
Dan

I'm told that the people who provide front-line support for this app have already looked at that but I'll check for myself.

Thanks,

Keith
