Couple of things to try..
1. Try passing the array as a variant array. ASP stores everything as
variant anyway. If you can make a property of the ActiveX component
variant, just try passing the array to that propery and use the
functions IsArray, Lbound, Ubound to figure out if it is an array and
it's dimensions.
2. Use the functions 'split' and 'join' in VBScript and VB to build a
single string which represents your array, something like this (syntax
may be incorrect, just putting down ideas)
Dim sRow(ubound(arr,1))
for i = lbound(arr,1) to ubound(arr,1)
sRow(i) = split(arr(i,1), "|")
next
sOut = split(sRow, "^")
Then use join on the other end to rebuild the array.
