Hello,
the property bag of an embedded activex control in IE is
often empy. None of the <PARAM> values are stored.
This happens if IE pops up a message when loading the page,
for example the "do you want to trust" dialog, but even javascript alerts.
If IE doesn't show an alert of any kind the property bag gets filled.

has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution ?

regards,
Anders.
