Any way to do it client side?

Is there any way possible to run ASP scripts client side without running PWS?

I am trying to make an browser interface for a client side DB. PWS is not running and the application is not online. I wanted the interface in a browser to keep high standardization and to cut mantainence costs.

Is this possible using ASP and a web browser, or do I need to go ahead and make a VB application?
 
Unfortunately unless you have an engine to interpret the scripts (like PWS or IIS) you can't run an ASP client side (this isn't the same as running client side scripts, however). You could always write an ActiveX object that gets deployed via a web interface though. This way you can write the database interface via VB and still use a web interface. This still gives you pretty much all the same issues you would have with just writing a stand alone VB app (making sure the user has all the appropriate DLLs installed, datasources, etc) so in the situation you decribe I'd just go ahead and write a VB app.
