well hey you cant do it that why but you can do it this why like if you use vb 6 or vb 6 pro there should be a thing to make DHTMl which alow you to make vb script and do alot of stuff
it would be too much of a security risk: i mean with the API u can do almost anything. Any llama could kill your computer simply by using the API.
You can use the API on webpages by having AX controls, but the user is asked if they want to download the first, so its a bit less risky.
