I have a need to execute a Visual FoxPro program (.exe) which creates a PDF
file. One method that I can think of is to use a .shtm file and a <!-- #exec
cmd="command.exe" -->. Is there a way which will work on IIS 4 from within asp
allowing me to pass parameters on the command line?

For example at a command prompt I would type;

prgname 0491 0 3

and the program would retrieve the 0491, 0 and 3 as parameters.

a) You can use WSH in your ASP page to invoke a command prompt:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/Default.asp?contentid
=28001169

b) You could just use the /scripts folder (or any other folder that is
marked with IIS Execute permissions), and call the program directly from the
URL.

Cheers
