VBD problem

[Denaeghel]

We have an ActiveX application on out intranet, and some people aren't able to start the application. Some people (not all of them) get the popup with the question which application they need to start the file ReportBuilder.VBD. The Package & Deployment Wizard creates the CAB and VBD files. Other application doesn't have that problem.
We use ADO 2.7 for the communication between our intranet application and our SQL Server (7.0), IE 5.5 and 6.0, OS NT 4.0 and 2000.

Thanks

Intranet Security settings in IE need to allow scripts. The first 5 settings need to be enabled.

When someone presses save when the are prompted, it sets a key in the registry.

Use regedit and check for
HKEY_USERS
S-1-5-21-117609710-152049171-1957994488-500
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Explorer
FileExts
.VBD <------ Delete Key

Delete any key with .vbd extension.

Make sure in the Project Properties of the ActiveX are Binary compatible. Choose Binary campatability, and select your .dll
Good luck.
