Unfortunately this is the price of activeX lisp.
I don't see that it has anything to do with ActiveX as such.
.. care to explain ?
It is established fact that activeX components pose a huge security risk for folks who allow it to run. In fact, when VLisp was first introduced, there was widespread fear that this would allow for the propogation of virii through the sharing of VLisp code.
While for the most part it hasn't panned out, lisp has definitely become a means by which virii can be transmitted. When you add the additional complexities of having compiled code in vlx and fas files, you can readily see the problem ... or at least I can see it.
Incidently, before I came across this post, the attachment had already been removed, thus I don't have the code to examine, but from the sounds of it, it was indeed VLX and/or FAS compiled code.
Personally, I'd be interested in obtaining a copy of the file to see exactly what it does and what makes it tick.
