Do you think you have explained your problem clearly? if you think yes then go for Inet Or Winsock

If you mean that you want users to use your application over the Internet, there are a few choices, depending on what your app does. Besides server-side scripting, there's JavaScript, Flash, Java, DHTML, etc. However, if you want users to use the app as it is written in VB, then it would need to be downloaded.

Actually Wizbang, I hate to disagree with you, but this time you're incorrect. In the past, this is how we did dynamic web pages (CGI) prior to anyone thinking of ASP. The only thing is, your vb6 program has to be hosted on an IIS server, and you have to give 'anonymous' permissions to execute. When you build your application, you need to ensure that it accepts command line parameters which hold your variables.

My very first application that I wrote at University was a 'recipe database' using vb5 and msaccess 2 to produce html and return that back to the user.

The only thing is, the application has to be very simple and there are many better ways to do what you are probably attempting to do.

Almost all apps, much less Internet Ready apps will need additional controls registered before the program will run. Maybe in a few years when everybody has Vista, and the vb6 runtime built in, but that still doesn't have them all.

Well, in one sense you're right. However, I think we'd both agree that the OP is likely asking about running the app via a standard web browser, with the app hosted on an ordinary web server. Short of paying for a dedicated server, that's more or less what you're working with. Hosting services don't risk compromising security to allow a customer the kind of server permissions you're talking about.

Let's see if the OP responds.
