exe VB Program from ASP...more detail...

[qberta01]

Hello,

I have researched running vb exe from asp and the code I am using is the standard shell (there are countless examples of this)....and it still doesn't execute. I am sure it is not the code, but possibly permissions, on which I have found limited information.

I am using Windows 2000 and I have read different things like installing OCX (???) and giving permissions on IIS. I don't even know where to begin with that info. I was hoping someone could instruct me on a very low level of what to look for in resolving this issue - or point me to a thread which may may be useful.

If I have not provided enough information please let me know.

AS always...I greatly appreciate the help!

If your using SQL Server, you can call a stored procedure that executes a job that executes an exe. :O)

do you want this exe to execute on the server or client?

On the server you can call and pass parameters to a VB DLL - would that help? E.g. I use something like this to validate a form using a VB DLL:

  Dim WebValDLL, FormOK
  Set WebValDLL=Server.CreateObject("YourDLL.YourClass")
  FormOK=WebValDLL.FormValidate(Param1, Param2)
