Passing info back to a web page/frame?

[Al Smith]

Hi,
Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a web program (VB6 Webclass) that performs functions on the company's computer when the web form is submitted. These functions take about 20 seconds to complete. I'm trying to send a message back to the web page, over-writing the old message, as to the progress of these functions but without creating a completly new form. These messages would be like:

Entering Service Order Information.

Posting Parts Used.

Updating your Inventory.

etc...

The HTML form uses frames and I'm wondering if I can send a message or back to a particular frame of the HTML form.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Al.

Yes you can but as far as I know it has to be done on an action to somehow call up a sub. Search on my name Joey O. and it should return a lot on the subject answered by Monte96. Also Serge at VBGarage had a cool answer to "calling two pages at same time". Once you figure that out just pass the queryStrings that you need everywhere they need to go and based on their conditions rewrite your page.

I hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks. I thought I saw some activity on this question in the past. I did several searches but wasn't able to find what I was looking for. I think your exchange with Monte96 and Serge were what I was looking for.
Thanks again,
Al.
