Visionary worlds stored in the database are stored in the VisWorlds table.

After you have designed your world, you can publish it as a component so that it can be viewed by other users.

You deploy your world in Visionary Viewer. Visionary Viewer is an ActiveX runtime control (visviewer.ocx file) that can be embedded in a Web page or a container application supporting ActiveX controls. For example, you can run Visionary Viewer in a Visual Basic, C++, or Java container application or in a Microsoft Office application such as Powerpoint. The Visionary Viewer control is automatically registered when you install Visionary Studio.

Choose World Publish World to display the Publish World dialog box. The active Visionary world file appears in the Filename text box.

You can type a user name and password in the User name and Password text boxes.

You can check the Prompt the user to logon check box to display the Open Database dialog box when the world is opened in Visionary Viewer.
