This seems a bit odd. An "active X control" is something that can be downloaded and executed by a web browser. There is a system of registration that tries to protect systems from executing potentially damaging active X controls.

I do not understand how active X controls are connected with your e-mails.

What precisely are the adverts? Are they web pages with embedded active X controls? Or are they JPG's or word docs?

What software are you using for the e-mail? What is the operating system?

If you are using Outlook Express, note that there are 2 settings in settings / security that may be relevant, namely "do not allow attachments ...... that could be a virus" and " block images in HTML e-mail". If you are using Outlook Express try unsetting both of these.

If you can supply some more info I'll try to help if I can.

Hi Jeffo. I am trying to put adverts on 2 motorhome sites but to do this you have to send an an email with the details of the advert on it.
To save a lot of typing i am trying to copy and paste which may be the problem. The email is generated on the motorhome sites themselves.
i don't really understand what Active X is .
Will try typing the details in and let you know.

Hi Jeff. Sorted, trying to copy and paste was obviously the problem, have typed in the details ok. put it down to old age.
Cheers Sid

Great, well done. I guess there must have been something "hidden" that it did not like when you were doing the copy and paste.
