help using #exec to call a VBScript

[highlife]

using the #exec command in an html page, i would like to run a .vbs script that opens a VSS database, gets a file from it and places it in a specific directory on the server. I cant simply run the script from an asp page because of memory constraints imposed on the site by IIS, the database is quite large.

i am unfamiliar with the #exec command and i would like to know how to use it to 1. pass a value to the script (a file name to get from the DB) 2. fire off the script on the server 3. return to the browser whereupon redirecting it to the file location on the webserver.

any help would be appretiated

thanks,
Zack
