I am not certain what is going on, from what you gave. Is it possible
that ActiveX is turned off for the second computer? If I remember
correctly, when you upgraded to SP2, ActiveX and some other hacker
favorites had to be enabled if you wanted the browser to use them. Your
wording seems to indicate that the second computer is using an IE
browser which should handle AX. However most other browsers will not
handle ActiveX at all or require a special plugin to do so. I have no
experience with barcodes. However, in many other cases where an ActiveX
object is used, an ordinary object can be found that will do the same
thing. If not, many include an embed within the AX object for browsers
that will not handle AX. This approach is bad html, but it seems to
work for many browsers that can not handle AX.
