Hi,

I have an application that will allow me to use an Ocx file and vb project (vendor supplied) to access information in a vendors proprietary database.

What I would like to do is port that vb project to the web. I would like to be able to have the ability for people to access a web page and essentially click "update" and have the server poll the vendors database for new information. (their vb project does this)

My main concern is that the people coming to this site will not have the Ocx file that I do and I don't want them to have to download anything for this to work.

I would like them to just come to the site click update and have the data "show up". I would like the server to do most of the work as there is alot of data and most of the people who will use this are on slow connections.

Should I use an activex control or ?????? I'm very new to this.

I would greatly appreciate any information or tips.

Thanks a bunch.
