March 10, 2015: Microsoft releases fix for ActiveX problems

[HansV]

A series of faulty updates released by Microsoft in December 2014 broke ActiveX controls.

Some workarounds and a Microsoft Fix-it were available, but they didn't work consistently for all users.

Among the monthly updates for March 2015 is a series of updates that should correct the problem. Use Windows Update to get them.
The relevant updates are:

Excel 2007: http://support.microsoft.com/KB/2956103" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Excellent....TX for the links.
I notice that Excel 2013 is not mentioned? I trust that it is covered in the Office 2013 update?

I assume so!
