hey.. im juss wondering..i created a program on visual basics 6.0 and now i want to put it on my webpage...is there a way i can put it on without having person download the exe to their computer.. i mean is it possible to let it run automatically? thanks for the help

That depends entirely on who is hosting you web site and whether they allow server side applications to run. A lot of web hosting companies don't even allow server side scripts to run so a full blown application has no chance. There are security and administrative problems in allowing applications to run on a remote server. What happens if there is a bug in your application that brings the whole server down. However, if you have your own web server and you have total control over it, then you can do what you like with it. The next thing to consider is what the application does. If the application produces video output then you can forget it. The video will appear on the server. Sending it over the Internet would be nigh on impossible. If the application just produces text output then you need to put that into a html document. In that cse PSP or Java would probably be a better option then VB6. The VB application would have to be written specifically to run on a web server. In short, its not quite as simple as running an application as you would on your desktop computer. What exactly does this application do? Stuart

I am also curious...I have some old VB6 forms I would like to convert to web pages. They are just simple command buttons and text. I have my own web server. I have had read about converting but have never been successful. I tried a program from diamond something or other and it just kept giving me errors. So could someone please refer me to a good site so I can learn how to convert these VB6 programs to a web page. P.S. I successfully converted them to activex but since I have unsigned activex controls and XP blocks them by default so it kills that purpose of someone just opening the page and using the program. Thanks.

Actually I got it to work...Goto www.diamondedge.com and you can use their program to convert vb apps to Java. It turns the vb apps into a web page with a Java app window where you program shows up. You also have to download and install the Java SDK package. When you open Visual Basic the new program should be integrated into VB now. I think the only thing you have to do is point the program to the correct folder. Hopefully it should work for you too. Just to let you know its only a trial verison so it can only do 2 forms.
