How do I get the variables provided by a web browser like QUERY_STRING, and how do I return a webpage to the browser?

I say you should learn PERL and use that (.pl)! It is easy to program in and is pretty much made for CGI, although is used for other things...

Yes, maybe...

But I already know a bit of Perl, don't like it and use a Windows box with VB...OK?

Help me out here?

Okay, I don't really know how to use VB with CGI, but PERL does run on a Windows platform. - Just put a
#!c:/perl/bin/perl
at the top.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound offensive...

I've just found a module with loadsa code that I don't understand that does a grand job of cgi...
