data binding problems

can't seem to get the data binding to work using IE 5:

Here is the syntax:

<OBJECT ID="dsoComposer" classid="clsid:BD96C556-65A3-11D0-983A-00C04FC29E33"
HEIGHT=0 WIDTH=0 VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM NAME="Server" VALUE="servername">
<PARAM NAME="Connect" VALUE="dsn=DBTool">
<PARAM NAME="SQL" VALUE="select TblName from tables">
</OBJECT>

I do check on the dsocomposer object with a call

var state = dsocomposer.readystate. I'm using interdev to debug. It comes back with a state of 4. 4 is that the object has been initialized.

However when I try to do the next call:

while (!dsoComposer.recordset.EOF)
{
dsoComposer.recordset.MoveNext();
}

It says that the dsoComposer is alreay closed. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?
