2 questions. 1. ASP and HTML embedded objects 2. ASP and vbModal forms.

Hi,

1. I have a webpage (asp) that used an embedded object tag to give access to a VB exe.
Question:
Is there a way that the VB exe can send data to the parent HTML page via the object?
For example, when the user quits the VB program, the HTML object is destroyed and the webpages returns to the main menu.

2. The method above requires some software to be downloaded to the client. I've read on this site about webpages and showing VB forms as vbModal forms.
Question:
Can a VB program that uses vbModal forms be accesed via a webpage without special software being on the client?
Can these forms interact with the parent HTML page?

Thanks,
Al.
