Excel 2010, WebBrowser control, Win 7, IE8
I have a simple userform created within Excel 2007 on Win XP that uses the
Microsoft Web Browser control to simulate a WIndows Explorer pane which
displayes different shared folders on the local network dependent on what
other options the user selects. This avoids having to use Open Dialogs.
This worked fine with no issues.
The user's machine has been upgraded to Excel 2010 on Win 7 64-bit. The
functionality of the user form seems to be okay, but everytime they try to
access the WebBrowser control by either right-clicking to get the standard
menu or opening a file, they get a Windows Security Popup questioning "Do
you want to allow files from this website to run on your compter". Please
note, this does not happen when accessing the same shared folder simply
via Windows Explorer.
What can I do to stop this popup appearing?
Is this really an IE Trusted Sites issue since it does not happen in
Windows Explorer? If so, the addition of sites is blocked by a group
policy so can I add a UNC path via the registry to test and hoow do I do
this? I can only see examples of websites rather than shared network
folders via a UNC path.
Is this an issue with the WebBoroser control?
Is there a setting that I've missed on the WebBrowser control which
resolves this?
Is there some other control that we should be using which can do this
better without having this problem?
Any help would be appreciated as this is extremely annoying.
