In response to the recent question about tts I tried searching the list archives via and used Active X changes in web browsers as the search term but it didn't find the thread below.

Also to update the thread below with what I've found in relation to the tts problem I had: I compared and matched the settings for Internet zone and Local Intranet zone because I was getting TTS working via a http://localhost install but not a web based url. However what I noticed was that the Internet zone had the Enable protected mode checked whereas the local intranet zone didn't have this checked. Un-checking this for Internet zone got TTS working again for web based URL's.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So we know that the active x setting that must be set to prompt or enabled is </span><span style='color:#1F497D'>“Initialise and script active x controls not marked as safe for scripting” but is it also the case that "Enable Protected mode" must be unchecked?
