Using VB executable to submit online form

My host doesn't support a cgi-bin, but I want to submit an online form to my e-mail address. Form may contain confidential or personal info so I don't want to remote host a cgi script.

Someone told me I could use a self-contained VB executable on the server to receive the data from the form and fire it off to my email, is this possible?

If so, does anyone have any source code I could use or could anyone tell me where to get some source? I'm pretty new at VB, and although I can adjust a program for my needs, I'm not up to writing from scratch yet...
If this isn't possible, does anyone have any other ideas? (Since they don't do cgi I severely doubt they support jsp or whatever, a self-contained executable seems about the only way to go...)

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Hi T.C,

You can make a normal "form" in html.
Then when the user presses Send it will send to your email trough HTML ONLY so no scripts are nessesary.

I can send you some code examples etc. Just write a reply o an email.

If you succeed then help others :D
