Hi,

I think the new ActiveX control is superb.

However I haven't been able to find a way to disable it being integrated with 
Internet Explorer.  (WinXP, OO644m7 but ActiveX is now active in OO1.0.3.1).

Normally I would consider this an enhancement request, but in this case not 
being able to enable and disable as per the users circumstances, is to me a 
deficiency.

I can disable Acrobat reader and almost every other product that tries to 
integrate itself with Internet Explorer.

Please provide the ability to somehow disable/enable the ActiveX control.

I would like to be able to give users direct access to OpenOffice.org on my 
website in the future.  A left will download the file which could take a 
considerable amount of time and give the user a feeling something is not 
working.

With Adobe Acrobat reader if integration is disabled the user has the choice 
to save or to open.

Just thought I would give me feedback.  Based on responses on the mail lists 
it appears that few people as of yet have started to see this feature.

Great new feature.  I can see some exciting possibilities.

A good link to test the ActiveX integration is Andrew's macro document.
