HOWTO: Use RDS 1.5 Server with IE 3.02

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SUMMARY

This article provides information on how to make a Web page using RDS (Remote Data Service) 1.5 server component viewable in an Internet Explorer 3.02 browser using the RDS 1.1 client component.

MORE INFORMATION

When creating a Web page that is using RDS 1.5 server, you must include the RDS 1.1 client control in the codebase in order to support Internet Explorer 3.02. The Msadc11.cab file can be copied onto the Server that RDS 1.5 is installed on by selecting it as an option when installing the RDS 1.5 server components. The RDS 1.1 cab file is not selected in the default RDS 1.5 server installation. After installation, the default directory that the cab file resides in is c:\program files\common files\system\msadc.

The RDS 1.5 client component is shipped with IE 4.0 so there is no need to set the codebase for IE 4.0 clients.

The following sample shows how to add the RDS 1.1 client control to your Web Page.

   <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:9381D8F2-0288-11d0-9501-00AA00B911A5"
   ID=ADC HEIGHT=1 WIDTH = 1
   CODEBASE="HTTP://serverName/MSADC/msadc11.cab">
   <PARAM NAME="BINDINGS" VALUE="Grid;">
   </OBJECT>

REFERENCES

Refer to Adctest.asp in the msadc/samples11 directory for the complete Active Server Pages (ASP) code.

Note that RDS 1.5 will create two sample directories, "samples" and samples11" when RDS 1.1 is selected to be installed on the computer during the RDS 1.5 setup. "Samples" is the directory for Internet Explorer 4.0 and "Samples11" is the directory for Internet Explorer 3.02.
