BUG: Windows OLE DLLs Do Not Convert Mac OLESTREAM

Last reviewed: April 21, 1995
Article ID: Q112412

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.01

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. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

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.
