OK, here's the deal. I have an Access 2000 database. One of the fields in a table is of type OLE Object
and is used to store Microsoft Equation 3.0 objects. In my ASP script I retrieve the data using a standard
ADO recordset.

The BIG question here is: how on earth do I display the OLE Object in the browser ??????

I have tried the <OBJECT> tag :
<OBJECT OBJECTID=&quot;clsid:0002CE02-0000-0000-C000-000000000046&quot;></OBJECT>
which brings up the Microsoft Equation 3.0 editor in the browser but I don't know how to stream the
data into it ...!!
Maybe a solution is to convert the object to a picture first .... (but how ???)

...or am I in the wrong topic area ... you see I tried to make a Word document and inserted a Microsoft
Equation 3.0 object and then saved the document as web page. It looks like it's using XML to accomplish
this....

Some info: I'm using IIS 5. The ASP is only going to be displayed in IE version 6. ASP code is VBScript.

OK guys, help me out here ! I would REALLY appreciate if someone could give me a hint!
