I need to put visual basic application onto the web. Pls advice on how should i go about doing it.
I've always used the Package and Deployment Wizard to create a setup package, and then created a Self extracting EXE in WinZip which automatically runs the setup file upon extraction. Then, just whack it on to the web, and hey presto!
Sorry... i think i never make myself clear.. i am actually trying to use VB to create a webpage... Pls advice..
I think you need to use .OCX files, but I can't tell you anymore beyond that.

You need to be more explicit. You want VB to generate HTML codes - you want to use ASP or what - what are you actually tring to achieve.

It will be easy, with vb7. Then there's the .net platform or something.:D
hehe oetje are you lloking forward to VB 7... lot's of talking about this one, especially with compatibility issues with previous versions.. :) you know more?
I just hope I'm completely wrong as far as compatibility is concerned.

There's a lot of info on vb7 at the official website. You can already download the first beta of vb7.:)
I use VB to extract data from Excel and display it onto the form created using VB too. I need to set up a server that can run the application and allows the client to view the display..
There are two alternatives if you want broadcast to internet users using any browser. One is webclasses and the other is dhtml - but I have a feeling that dhtml is not supported on all browsers.
You can not straightly change VB App. on Web as u would be using lot of OCX Control etc. , for Web Appliation data has to be viewed on Web Page , so u have to develop form , control on web page , u an use coding , validation etc. as u had in ur VB Application , only front end i.e. representation has to be changed,if any OCX control is there u have to deploy it on server, as said above , u can right VB code in VB Script / ASP depending upon whether it is server side or client side.
Have a nice day !

Currently i have already created an ActiveX control and has package it. I can open the file using IE and it can actually display data from excel onto the web and auto update.. I need to create a webpage for the control so that other people can see the data.. Pls advice.
