I keep getting a script error warning when running a webpage using LiveWeb
in PowerPoint 2002 that I do not get when I run the same webpage directly in
IE7.

When I run that page using LiveWeb in PPT the error I get is a popup window
that says:
...............................
Internet Explorer Script Error
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 16
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
Url: ......
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
................................
What is puzzling is that this is not really a Internet Explorer error
because it does not occur when I open the page directly in IE7.

Anyone know how I can stop this from happening? Even if I run PowerPoint
2002 with the security level set to Low, I get the same error, so that does
not seem to be the problem.
I checked the scripts and there does not seem to be anything I can see at a
line 16.

As I mentioned earlier, that's an Explorer error message, not a PowerPoint one.
There's something in the web page that it's objecting to.
There's an Explorer setting that lets you turn off error messages when it
encounters script errors. You might want to have a look for that.

Thanks Steve. I do have the option turned off in IE7 to display error
messages when it encounters script errors - which is why the error does NOT
appear when I load the file directly in IE7. It only appears when I load
the same file in PPT using LiveWeb. So I guess PPT ot LiveWeb are somehow
reversing that option choice.

Guess I will just have to live with it for now or change my presentation.

All I can figure is that an older version of MSIE (or bits of it) still remains
on your computer after an IE7 upgrade and LiveWeb is using a control from the
earlier version. OR the control that ships with IE7 hasn't been updated in all
the same ways that IE7 itself has.

Let's see if Shyam (Mr. LiveWeb) shows up with more useful info on this.
