Its not browser specific, its seemingly SP3 specific as mentioned in the original post, but for the benefit of other readers :
Complaints are that Firefox 2.x and MSIE 7 are _both_ failing, not yet sure about others.
I've tested the same code on SP2 and Vista (without SP1) with MSIE 6,7 and Firefox 2.x and its all good.
I will shortly test on Firefox 3.x and build a SP3 box and possibly a Vista SP1 box, at that point I will know more.
At a guess, i'd say M$ has added certain activeX object methods to its "don't use by default" list in SP3, but I don't yet know, and it may be a problem with SP1 in Vista.
I'm looking for pointers, chaps, helpful things that may assist me on solving this problem.
thanks again,
Isaac.
