Dear stingman,<br><br>I can't think of any way using the intrinsic set of ASP objects to do this. If I am wrong hopefully someone will correct me.<br><br>However, you could build your own ActiveX control to do just what you want then use it in your .asp pages.<br><br>Basically interacting with CGI apps on Apache is just a matter of requesting the URL from the server with all the appropriate urlencoded input. You have to make sure that the ActiveX control blocks on the request method until the reply is received if you need to work with the reply from the CGI application.<br><br>Good luck<br>-pete<br><br>

Well my problem currently is that my upstream provider for my company uses cgi to setup accounts and I wanted to use ASP instead since I run my site on a NT server I dont know much about asp so far except it is very confusing to me I thought about learning Perl since there are alot more UNIX hosts out there but every time I see perl it makes me sick just to look at it. I do however like that about asp alot more at least almost all the code I have seen so far is legible I get blowed away when I see all those odd chars in the code I dont understand the basics of asp yet but at least they use mostly words to write it. Any way I have to figure out how to rewrite the cgi to work with my merchant account or figure out how to rewrite the CGI into asp. <p>Steve Hagerman<br><a href=mailto:Admin@Advancedisp.com>Admin@Advancedisp.com</a><br><a href=
