As a break from my general introductory-level posts so far, here’s something hot off the presses. Depending on your corporate desktop policies for Windows updates, this may affect your users immediately.
The Microsoft Internet Explorer ActiveX Update 912945 changes the way Active X controls work for Microsoft XP SP2 users. In some cases, users will no longer be able to directly interact with ActiveX controls loaded by the APPLET, EMBED or OBJECT elements. This change will also impact some areas of Oracle Applications.
For full details on the affected modules within the E-Business Suite, see this Note published today, “Microsoft Internet Explorer ActiveX Update 912945 and Oracle Applications” (Metalink Note 364366.1).
