no need for adodb on the server.
you can access it via kix. this most likely doesn't work but gives you an idea what I mean:
 Code:
    $stream_object = createobject("ADODB.Stream")
    $RC = $stream_object.open
    $stream_object.type = 2
    $stream_object.charset = "iso-8859-1"
    $RC = $stream_object.write($string)
    $stream_object.position = 0
    $stream_object.type = 1
    $stream_object.position = 0
    $string = $stream_object.read


these lines taken from base64 translator code. you write the bytes of the array into an object and then read as text.
it should return the first object this way but to get them all you need to alter the data.

if you really want to make it work, check out kixtart binary:

or kixforms.net
I stopped developing the first once I got to work on kf.net
for your needs kixbin should be just fine.
