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?
