[LalanKG]

Hi All,

i am new to Visual basic. I have some requirement in intergrating VB with ASP page.
The requirement is ,assume I have a html form, in that i have a two txt box and one button.

On clicking the button i need to pop up a visual basic form (external) and prepopulate
these txt box values(html page) in the new VB form.

I am using VB 6 and ASP and not .NET

Please help me, is there any way.. any third part control or so..pls let me know

If you post the same question on different forums, your questions will be deleted. Just use one forum. I posted an answer to the other one already.

It was a good thing that it was posted in both places because I might not have seen it otherwise.

I'm not trying to incourage this cross posting but really this one is more appropriate than others because it is both a VB and an ASP question. (Not VBScript ASP but separate external VB EXE)

The reason is that everyone in the ASP forum said, "No, can't do it." And that is wrong... Sorta.

You can't do with ASP... but you can do it with VB and client side script. (either VB or ASP)

What you need to do is change your VB program into an ActiveX EXE, add a public createable class, and instantiate it from client side script. I put more details over in the other thread.

Whoops, typo:

"You can't do with ASP... but you can do it with VB and client side script. (either VB or ASP)"

^^^^^^^

This line should have said:
"You can't do with ASP... but you can do it with VB and client side script. (either VBScript or JavaScript)"

The way the question was asked, though, seemed to indicate that it wasn't from someone with a lot of experience who can do the things you suggested without a good deal of other questions and training.

Also this is one of those things that just because you CAN do it doesn't mean that you SHOULD.

This type of design decision should not be made without investigating all of the options and consequences.

You'll get into binary compatibility issues with your ActiveX EXE if you aren't careful.
