You might consider creatig an ActiveX control or a Java Applet/Servlet or similar instead. It is impossible to run you .EXE file over the internet (i understand this to mean you want to run it through your browser?). You can however use Terminal Server with Citrix Metaframe ICA Client to fake that your .EXE file is actually running in the browser.
Happy new year!

There are many options available to you, but they may need a bit of learning.
1. People can download it as a CAB file from a web page and then install and run it. To do this, notice the CAB option in teh VB Packagge and Deployment Wizard.
2. People can indirectly interact with your EXE through their browser. This has the benefit that it is only ever installed on 1 machine - the server. To achieve this, you can (a) convert it to a "Web Class" project type in VB6, or (b) use an ASP web page to pass values into it from the users browser, and then send the results back to them in another ASP page. If you are not familiar with HTML or ASP, this is a biggish step, but you will learn a very useful set of skills. I recommend "Professional VB6 Web Programming" from wrox.com for an good overview and introduction to the range of options you can take using VB6. Be aware that VB.Net will soon replace these methods with revised slightly simpler ways though.

I hope this is useful
