Hi All,
             I have an urgent requirement. I need to display my company's 
stock value in the local intranet. I have stock values in my database 
which is populated by the stock exchange by every 2 minutes. I do display 
it in a small popup and refresh it every 2 minutes. 
             Now, the requirement is, i need to develop a software (an exe 
or whatever..) which can be installed in every client's machine. when the 
client runs the s/w from his desktop, it should pick the value from the 
databse and refersh in every 2 minutes.
             I have seen some sports web site, where they they provide a 
software we can download and install in our machine, which shows the 
refreshed score periodically. We can right click on the software which 
shows several options like refresh time interval,exit...etc.  The software 
looks like a tiny image which you can place it anywhere in yr browesr.. 
Any ideas pls.. Any site references.. Thanks in Advance..

With Best regards,
Darshini P

If you can create a little asp pop-up to perform the actual work (which
is going to have to run on your Intranet server anyway) just use a
little bit of code in VB 6 to create an application that merely points
to a website that'll do the work? Is that coherent? It's late...
Try a derivative of the following code:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias
"ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal
lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As
String, ByVal nShowCmd) As Long


Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Timer1.Enabled = True
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Open", "pagenamehere.htm", "", "", 1
End Sub


Compile and you'll have a handy executable for clients that'll
immediately jump to your pop-up.
