If you are in an environment where Internet Explorer is the only browser
supported, you can use an XMLHTTP object to do this also.

Subject: [asp_discuss] Re: How to execute a script in web server from
browser without changing a page?,

2 ways I can think of (without going into nitty gritty detail):

1. Put the page in a frameset with a hidden frame (a frame with the
height 
or width set to zero). Use javascript to load the ASP script page into
the 
hidden frame when the checkbox is clicked.

2. Use javascript to open the ASP script page in a small popup window
when 
the checkbox is clicked. This will run the script and also display a 
confimation message, and if you wanted you could put a "Close Window" 
button on there so the user can close the pop-up.
