Email webreports and blocked ActiveX content

(imported topic written by paulc91)

I am trying to email webreports but when I get the mail and try to open it I get the following error:

"One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:

  1. Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or

  2. You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.

As a result, the page may not display correctly"

I have tried adding my bigfix server to the ‘Local intranet’ and ‘Trusted sites’ with no luck.

Any thought on how I can allow the blocked content and see my custom reports? I am using IE7 v7.0.5730.11.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

Depending on which report you are mailing, it might contain an ActiveX control to generate the graphs. It sounds like your IE settings don’t allow the ActiveX controls to execute properly so you might want to specifically look for the ActiveX security settings in your local zone… but I don’t know exactly what to change.
