XML - Newbie Question

[Jimbob]

I'm totally new to XML, and I'm just wondering what is and isn't possible.

What i'm doing is sending data from my client app as a DOMDocument. It's received and processed at the other end by an ASP Page that i've written. That was easy enough, but what I want to know is this: -

Does my Document have to be received by an ASP Page, or can I write an ActiveX EXE that will do the job for me?

Yes, or it can also be an ActiveX DLL.

You can process the data as an XML stream (string), or as a file reference, and process the file normally.

I am doing this in an ASP application, and all the XML processing to and fro from the database is handled in the ActiveX DLL. This delivers an XML stream to the ASP code for XSL transformation.

If you need any assistance, email me with a clearer idea of what you want and I'll put an example together for you.

That's great, I'll do that.
