CAUSE
The cause for this is a bug in the way the object tag information is parsed before it is stored.



RESOLUTION
The bug in the parser has been resolved in Internet Explorer 5. To fix this bug, install Internet Explorer 5.

  Typically, the embedded ASP code will be something like this:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
