I did a quick search and it does appear that Microsoft Back Office
uses ActiveX to handle a terminal session through the browser.
Back Office is very much out of date. It's time for the boss to think
about moving on...either to something newer in Microsoft or
(preferably) Linux.
The longer the boss waits, the less security the Back Office server
has. Since Microsoft has discontinued it, I bet they're also not
releasing ciritical security updates.
