Whats happening

[msdnexpert]

Hi all,
I created an ActivexDLL that displays a modal form. I called that DLL through an ASP page to display the form. I am using personal web server. When I serve that ASP page from another machine the modal form is displayed on my machine but not on the other machine. I am unable to figure out why this is happening.Any solutions.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think you should have forms in an ActiveX dll intended for use in an ASP.

It sounds VERY messy!

you cannot display forms from an ActiveX dll that resides on the server to the client.

That's why ASP is here, to generate the HTML to send to the client (THAT is your form)

You can use the VB6 Webclasses which simplify the ASP UI generation (from what I understand about it, but most people don't like it due to bugs)

VB7 should have some pretty slick sh*t with their web forms...supposively you create an EXE (like a normal EXE) and deploy it on your web server...the user will then see your forms (somehow)

Until then, ActiveX DLLs are to be used for your business logic/data access, and ASP for your UI generation
