Activex on web page

[mleach2]

Is it possible to incoporate a database with an activex control on a web page?

Example:
The database would hold properties that could be passed to the control via querystring.

Thanks in advance

I have a control I designed in VB 6. When the page the control is on is called up I need it to load a file(in this case a CAD file). This file is stored in a database.

Currently I have the control embedded in a web page. I have tried passing properties through the <param> tag but this doesnt work. I thought I could maybe pass them through a database query depending on which link the user clicked. I thought I could make it like adobe reader. When a uses selects a .pdf file it knows to use adobe. On my site, when a user selects a .czd file (CAD-like Program) I want my control to load with the file that was selected.

Am I headed in the wrong direction with this? Should I try something like activex exe or dll?

Thanks for your help

Well the control you have designed must be registerd on the client mac.
And if you want your control to communicate with database use RDS(remote data service).
