You have several choices in this arena actually.  The most recommended
choice of course is ASP, or Active Server Pages, where you can write web
applications (or so they are called) using VBScript inline with your HTML to
produce dynamic content.  It appears that you already have an existing VB
application so you might not find this route the easiest (although it is the
best).  If you make an ASP page, you must have a special host that supports ASP
typically using IIS 4 or 5 (there is also a Unix ASP server from Chilisoft
although I've had no experience with this).  A free ASP host is
www.brinkster.com.

    Another option is to make an ActiveX Document, but AX docs are a failed
technology and highly not recommended.

    Finally you can make your VB exe an ActiveX exe and embed it into the page
and it will run similiar to a Java applet.  I would not recommend this method
because it only works with MSIE (actually I haven't looked at Nutscrape
recently, but somehow I doubt they even try to support it).

    Make your decision and hit us back on the list with it so we can help you
out some more.
