CreateObject internet accessHi there,
I was wondering if there was any way to stop "CreateObject" from accessing "131.107.115.28" when called? Unfortunately it is raising a warning with Norton Personal Firewall and seems dubious. Any ideas on how to get around this one? Thanks in advance. Nick. NickP wrote:

So NPF is the dubious part. Can't you tell it to shut up or that crl.microsoft.com is OK? (Also, if you get the free OE-QuoteFix from http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ then you can automatically use the bottom-posting newsgroup convention.) Andrew Hi Andrew,

It should be okay by > crl.microsoft.com is OK? default any maybe in some newer versions of Norton it is, but with the version I am testing on it isn't which is really unfortunately. > (Also, if you get the free OE-QuoteFix from I've installed it, but not quite sure what it's supposed to be doing > http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ then you can > automatically use the bottom-posting newsgroup convention.) exactly, mainly because I don't have time to read the info. Cheers for your help anyway, I guess I will have to blame NPF! Damn and blast. Nick. I prefer top posting. I've already read the OP, and just need the reply. Why
scroll?

>I prefer top posting. I've already read the OP, and just need the reply. That's nice, well I would prefer it if you didn't bang on about it. >Why scroll? Thanks. Nick. this ip address is crl.microsoft.com which is microsoft's "Certification

Please tell me it can be stopped! :-( Otherwise surely any other app that uses OLE automation with PowerPoint would do the same surely? As well as Word, Excel etc..? Nick.

Why are you concerned?

I don't think it is valid at all to be honest with you. Try rolling an application out to thousands of people that will display a filewall warning at a really obscure moment. It's not advisable to attempt to access the internet unless you have warned the user first, it increases trust with the user, but telling them it needs to access the internet to validate part of windows seems a bit bizaar. I can't "not" create the object as it is essential for COM automation with PowerPoint whilst avoiding using the .NET side of control. If the user has a firewall that is aware of the issue then no problem exists for them, but you can never tell what firewall the user will have, if any of course. I was hoping that the check could be bypassed in some way, maybe not then. Nick. Jeff Dillon wrote: Show quoteHide quote > I'm confused. Simply "don't do that"? > > Why are you concerned?
