Hi,
I will like to know how I can createobject with an .exe file.

I found one like this : set elm = createobject("elm.exe")

I do not know whether this is correct or not.

Please reply.

Thanks.
 
set elm = Server.Createobject("elm.exe")

Although Im not sure what you would do from there. It is a VERY bad idea to use exe's for each user who is using it, it loads up a new one so it KILLS resources quick. You may want to look into DLLs for whatever you are trying to do, this is much more effiecent.

Thanks,
But then I am creating a virtual terminal, so it needs to be an .exe file. What can I do?

Thanks and regards.
 
What will this virtual terminal do? How many users will be using it? www.vzio.com

Hi,
Not known. Because the intention was to let the Virtual Terminal reside in asp page.. so that when people clicked on the link... the VT system will start and perform some transactions.

Thanks and regards,
Elena
