VB on the WEB

[Hutty]

I have a VB application that interfaces with an access database. I would like to run it on the web, and have subsequent users accessing the application from various sites. I imagine that i would need to install the application and the database on the web server. Upon new users accessing program on the web, a download would take place to add the necessary files to the client computer so they can run the program from the web. Am I right in my assumptions? In any case, please provide some directions in this process. Thanks.

Of course I don't know what your application does but I would suggest using active server pages. The code in ASP is all base on VB and I found the conversion of some of my applications from VB to ASP to much simpilar then I thought it would be. There are some great books out on ASP. I usually go to Barnes and Noble and just sit on the comfy couches and read and take notes. I rarely buy.

Thanks. I have an ASP book that I've reading. Almost through it and nothing on running a VB program through ASP. Must be in an intermediate book. Thanks again.

I was thinking more along the lines of using ASP instead of your VB app to do whatever it is that your VB app is doing. But if you have some knowledge of ASP already then you have probably decided ASP cant do what your app needs too. Anyway, good luck.

I did set up a Delphi application one time to run over a web page through active X controls that came with Delphi. I don't know if VB has similar controls.
