Control problem with new Internet Explorer Window

We have this older asp application (i dont think this is a factor) that has
an active x control on it.
When we open the web page that has the control on it, everything appears to
work just fine. Now if we get to the page through a link that has
target='new' then the controls on the page do not work correctly. We have
opened the web page through a link in word or from another web page and the
controls do not work.

The problem is all associated with the fact that the IE window was opened by
a link (that opens a new ie window). Has anyone seen something like this?
We don't get any errors or warnings when the page loads.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

thx

Dave,

What does "not work"?

The ActiveX control is a purchased (multicolumn) drop down control. The
control displays but does not have any values.

Dave,

Did you try it with more browsers?

We have tried on multiple computers all with IE6 and can reproduce the
problem on all computers and with different user accounts.
The problem is all associated with the fact that the IE window was opened
from a link. Even if the link was within MS Word, when the window is opened
indirectly the control will not work. When comparing view source of the page
that works and the page that does not work they are identical.

I am not sure how opening a new window would effect the functionality of the
control.

Dave,

I thought on the new enhancements from SP2 which does some blocking with
opening new windows (popup)

Have a look on msdn for that page I have it not at hand now.

However just a guess
