....when I open the same workbook:

"This application is about to initialize ActiveX controls that might be unsafe..etc."
for the last year or so. It's becoming annoying.

Is there a way to find or search for or trace what ActiveX control(s) is causing this dialog box to appear each time? I read about a fix on Microsoft's support web page - however I am very hesitant to make any changes to the Registry. I'd rather find the source and either remove it or change the control to one which will not give this message. I highly suspect it is a either a button or a calendar control.

Thanks for anyone's input on this annoying problem.
