How do I make a standard exe web-accessible ?

[kunmun23]

I have a standard exe project consisting of 4 standard forms. i want to make this project web-accessible. First I thought of rewriting the code in VB Script but then its too much work. One of my friends suggested that I can make use of activex controls. So I made activex controls by copy pasting the code ( one activex control for each form) Now the problem is how do I deploy it ? I read a tutorial somewhere and managed to get the first form to open in a webpage...the problem is when a button click for opening the next form is clicked and it fails to find the next control.
Please help ...tell me how should I go about porting my standard exe to make it web accessible. Should I use one user control per standard exe for or put all the stuff of my 4 activex forms into one activex control and modify the code ? Any other bright suggestions welcome too..
BTW I'm a beginner at Activex so please KISS ( Keep It Simple Smarty !!)


Thanks in advance !!

Use Citrix Metaframe Server if you have got enough money !

Thanks !! If I had money I wouldn't be coding !!
Anyway, got it working .....used simple frames...i.e. put the contents of each form on a frame in the activex control.....one frame for each for...made some minor changes to remove variable name dependencies and altering commands like form1.show to frame1.visible=true etc....it works fine..except for the "END" command to close the application and "Unload" command which don't seem to work in the control. Added the control to a web-page.
Now please tell me how to make it web accesible ? The html page works fine on my desktop but when I uploaded the page and the .ocx file to the server and accessed the page it would say "Cannot find server" .....what am I doing wrong ? Changed my IE settings to accept activex controls etc..doesn't seem to work.
Please help !!

hi,
if u don't care about IU, u can just move the code to DLL and use SOAP to make it web accessible.
if u moving the project to ActiveX Control u should care that the ocx will get down to the user machine (i.e. running under Internet Explorer process).
u can also use WebClass. WebClass is a VB option (called IIS Application) to create web projects from VB environment.
look in MSDN for WebClass for more info.
