I have written a form-based VB program, which can run as a standalone EXE in Windows. Now, I would like to make the VB program run inside IE. Is it possible? Could someone suggest me how to do that?
Thanks in advance.

What you'll probably need to do is create the project as an ActiveX Document... those work a lot like standard apps but they run inside a "container" application like IE.
Thanks for the information. I think putting in ActiveX is exactly what I want.
Could some one give me rough idea on the effort of converting a standard window EXE to ActiveX? And where could I find the related information?
Thanks in advance.
1.Start new project ActiveX Control
2.Create Control (write all codes)
3.Close design window -> click X in the top corner
4.Compile ActiveX to the .ocx

Actually, for this project, you don't want to create an ActiveX control as was suggested. You'll want to create the project as the ActiveX Document type.
ActiveX control projects allow you to create new controls to use in VB to apply to your forms and whatnot.
ActiveX documents let you create applications that reside inside a container app like IE.
Use the ActiveX Document Migration Wizard. MS has pretty good help on the topic.
