ActiveX controls warning

I currently use AC 2008 along with a program called SteelLogic. The person that created this program is no longer in the business and doesnt support the program (add-on).

Whenever I open Autocad I get a message Microsoft Forms. "This application is about to initialize ActiveX controls that might be unsafe....."

Does anyone know how I can disable this message or disable ActiveX warnings? I know how this would work in MS applications but cannot figure it out for AutoCad.

Thanks in advance.

What OS are you using? Do you have MS Office installed, what version?

Thanks for your reply.

Win7, Office 2010.

Maybe this will help. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/827742

It seems to be for Office XP and Office 2003

This may work for Office 2010

You can try adding a registry value:

HIVE=HKEY_CURRENT_USER

KEY="Software\Policies\Microsoft\VBA\Security"

VALUENAME="LoadControlsInForms"

VALUE=1 (DWORD)

Thanks. I will check it out this evening and let you know.

I don't have VBA in Software\Policies\Microsoft\

I do have VBA here:

Software\Microsoft\VBA

I don't have a directory here:

Software\Policies\Microsoft\

But there is a VBA folder here:

Software\Microsoft

You may need to create both folders. Did you read the link I posted and follow the instructions?

You may have to check for a more recent fix. Do you still have any older MS Office products?

Be sure to create a restore point and backup the registry.

Hi, Yes I did read the link. It seems it may be more appropriate to post this question on a Microsoft forum instead. I assumed there would be a setting within Autocad to ignore ActiveX warnings.

I do not own any older versions of Office, but I do have an additional unused key for 2013, that I was planning on upgrading to. I think it would be best to go ahead and upgrade and then search for a 2013 fix.

Thanks for your time.
