Because we are talking about office macros. An office macro is stored in
the user profle, in the install directory or in an office document.

What you have up and running on your server is a database. The office
suite and the database are 2 completely separate things. The database
accepts requests and returns requested record sets without knowing any
of your queries, forms, reports and macros. It accepts the exact same
requests from your web server returning the exact same record sets
without knowing anyting about your web server, script language or the
client's browser.
