This article was previously published under Q112412

SYMPTOMS

The OLE 2.01 libraries will not convert a Mac OLESTREAM to a Windows OLESTREAM. Similarly, the Windows OLE dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) will not convert a Mac IStorage to a Windows OLESTREAM.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the OLE SDK version 2.01.

MORE INFORMATION

The Macintosh OLE 2.0 libraries will be able to convert non-Macintosh OLESTREAMs by means of OleConvertOLESTREAMToIStorage. At this time, there are no known Macintosh OLE 1.0 applications that generate Windows- compatible files that contain Mac OLESTREAMs.
