I want to create a few simple games to play from a website. I want to have a link on the page that activates the game to run within the browser. Is this possible? Do I have to create the games as an ActiveX dll or something similar? I have consulted a couple VB texts to no avail. I'm fairly new to VB, so don't assume too much knowledge on my part. Thanks for your help. (I posted the same question in the ASP,VBscript, Internet forum. )

Don't know if you can run an application that uses external dlls and stuff (like Directx ones) but there is a program out there that will allow you to embed your application into an html page (including all the neccesary dlls, ocxs). Can't remember the name of that program but I'll post it as soon as I find it.

well I think you can use dlls that everyone has, just no extra stuff. than you need to compile your project as OCX, so you can include it on a webpage... that would work, but I would not play those becaues basically what you do is playing an exe file in a browser window. It could do everything with you PC... I would play those only on pages that I know I can trust...
