Hi,

JavaScript

<script language="javascript">
   function PrintLabel() 
   {
       var ccc = 0;
       var zp = new ActiveXObject('ZebraPrint.ZebraPrintCtl');
       zp.TcpConnection('66.55.1.2', '6101');
       var i = zp.Print('<?xml version="1.0"?>Test Text</xml>');
       alert(i);
   }
</script>
<body>
<form id="form1">
<div>
  <asp:Button ID="btnPrint" runat="server" Text="Print" OnClientClick="javascript:PrintLabel();return false;" />
</div>
</form>
</body>

Running this script on IE 7 which is giving an error called "Automation server can't create object". I tried doing this by changing security levels to a custom level when running on a web server.

Tools Menu -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level -> "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting"

But still its giving the same error.
Your suggestions and inputs are highly appreciable.

Thanks

I have Excel and Word set to Run as Administrator. I do this so I can save files anywhere that I like - not impressed with the efforts to stop me saving into the 'Program Files' or 'Program Files (x86)' folders.

The consequence of this is that if I try to create an ActiveX object for either Word or Excel, it fails.... Unless the program that's trying to create those objects is also run as Admin. I set the webserver to run as a service a long time ago and forgot about the problem. It took me about a day recently to re-discover that little gotcha. I don't recall what the error message was, but I'm 99.98% sure it didn't include anything that mentioned security or permission issues.

To get around this issues when testing stuff designed for IE, I have to start IE as Admin. Which is rather irritating since it's a 'special' shortcut in the start menu, right-clicking to see the shortcut's properties so I can set it to "Always run as Admin" just brings up the Internet Options dialog. So, it's either right-click, Run as Admin every blinking time, or it's create a new shortcut. I chose the former..
