web page with program running in it

Hi
I want to write a web page and run an exe in a frame.
can this be done?

Cheers Picnmix

No. Browsers are not shells for executing arbitrary programs. You cannot get arbitrary programs to output their output to a web browser frame unless it's specially written (ActiveX component, Java applet, etc).

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hmm... having said that - I was assuming you meant . If you mean can you run a server-side EXE file, then the answer may be yes.

pinmix,

If your question is:
"In a windows environment can I interface my IE browser
with a .EXE on the client-side?",

then the answer is Yes.
See faq209-4551
Although the example shows a COBOL program it would work with any programming language that can be compiled to a windows exe.

Also see thread216-668888 for automating the printing of the browser output.
