ActiveX controls that perform cross-domain data binding cannot be used in InfoPath
ActiveX controls that perform cross-domain data binding
cannot be used in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 or in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003. When you add an ActiveX
control to an InfoPath form, you receive the following error
message:
Safety settings on this machine prohibit
accessing a data source on another domain.
This problem occurs because InfoPath hosts ActiveX
controls in the Internet security zone. Therefore, if an ActiveX control tries
to perform cross-domain data binding, the binding is unsuccessful. If your
InfoPath form is located in one domain or is published in one domain and
an ActiveX control tries to access a data source in another domain, you
experience this problem.
Note By default, Microsoft Internet Explorer disables the
Access data sources across domains setting in the Internet
security zone.
This
behavior is by design.
Steps to reproduce the problem
Add a Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0 ActiveX control to an
InfoPath 2003 form. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start InfoPath 2003.
- On the File menu, click Design a
Form.
- In the Design a Form pane, click
New Blank Form.
- On the Insert menu, click More
Controls.
- In the Controls pane, click Add or
Remove Custom Controls.
- In the Add or Remove Custom Controls
dialog box, click Add.
- In the Add an ActiveX Control dialog box,
click Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0, and then click
Next four times.
- Click Finish, and then click
OK to add the ActiveX control to the Controls
pane.
- In the Controls pane, add the
Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0 control to the form to
create a new spreadsheet control.
- Double-click the new spreadsheet control. In the
Microsoft Office Spreadsheet 11.0 Properties dialog box, click
the Import tab.
- In the Data type box, click
HTML.
- In the URL box, type the following:
http://moneycentral.msn.com/scripts/webquote.dll?iPage=qd&Symbol=msft
- Click Import Now.
You receive
the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
Note If you receive a Microsoft Office 2003 Web
Components message box, click Cancel.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
