The Microsoft Project link requires ActiveX controls to be installed, and enabled, on the computer where Microsoft Project/Project Server Link is used. Therefore only web browsers capable of supporting ActiveX controls can be used to link Microsoft Project/Project Server files to DOVICO Timesheet. The Mozilla Firefox browser does not support ActiveX (verified January 2008).
When you access either the Microsoft Project Link or the Microsoft Project Server Link, DOVICO Timesheet will determine if ActiveX controls are installed. When not installed, the browser will attempt to download and install the required components.
There are 3 major reasons why you might be experiencing difficulties installing the ActiveX controls:
The browser does not support ActiveX controls.
Insufficient administrative privileges on the computer to register an ActiveX control.
The site where you are accessing DOVICO Timesheet from should be added to your Trusted Sites list. By default, that will contain the browser rights needed to install the ActiveX controls (if you have sufficient administrative rights).
If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
Note that limited functionality is possible for Microsoft Project Server using a web browser without ActiveX controls.
