Now, the million dollar question: Why an ActiveX ? I am using the .net browser control.

What's the control you're using?

The one on the "Microsoft Controls" group in Visual designer

And what website did you navigate to? Maybe that's using an Active X Control?

Just guessing.

[edit] My bad - wrong class from MSDN. You're not using the WebBrowserSite class, just the WebBrowser. Please ignore this comment.

From MSDN, it looks like that control's a wrapper form an ActiveX (see the Remarks): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.webbrowsersite.aspx

[edit] but I'm still interested in this ...

When do you see the error?

The error pops up when it is about to show the page.

I'll change the site and let you know

meh. Tried several - amazon.co.uk, redstore.com etc.

Thing is, I cannot dictate which sites the user can and can't go to

You could do using some parental control software.... But is this behaviour site dependent? Would you mind sharing one of the non working sites with us?

Are those bad sites or good?

I tried them both (and some other sites, like Microsoft's) and they all seemed to work OK, with the attached code.

I should also note my OS etc:

WinXP SP3, IE 6

XP  ...  IE6 .... signs of a person reluctant to modernize?

Ah, may have tracked it down. Using the component "standalone" I could not break it at all. However, in the application I am using another component (ipworks xmpp). It seems as this may be the troublemaker. I got another error suggesting that the activex control (again, not using one _unless_ this component is a wrapper) is at fault: 

"This is an ill-behaved multi-threaded control.  It cannot be used with the Progress 4GL. (9179)" .

How can I tell if the component is multi-threaded or a wrapper ? Is there any way of telling if a component is ABL friendly ?

bad form to reply to oneself, but this may be of interest to everyone following this thread (ha! geddit ? huh ?)

Interesting. Did you try the suggested workaround?

xmpp1:InvokeThrough = this-object.

PS it's good to have a new set of bad puns available to us as ABL developers ...

Really spooky - I was literally typing a followup

Yes, it seems to have cured the problem. At least I am not getting any strange errors, and no hanging. One for the KB, methinks !

Thanks to all for the help and suggestions
